CD&R hires an army of associates and barely promotes any of them. it's the worst firm you could use as an example. Historically, Vista, Thoma and Apollo have been the best for promotions, but unsure what case is today as MF PE has matured into asset aggregators.
I agree with APO (if you don’t end up quitting) TB Vista. Obviously not sure what it’s like these days but compared to other >20B funds, those are the few that (1) promote without MBA but (2) higher promotion rates overall.
I would also add TA (growth equity) to the list. They require MBAs but out of their associate class that all left for MBA, TA consistently gives 1-2 VP return offers each class
Also would add the >10B European PE funds to the list. Apax Hg Nordic have good promotion rates
Also jsut want to say cd&r associate class is an actual army. 20+ people a class - unheard of anywhere else.
Promotion is impossible but on the flip side, I’ve heard WLB is good given that they have so many associates
Have never heard of CD&R having good WLB unless something changed, their IC decks / process seemed really intensive and it's a pretty old school culture so would be surprised if it didn't translate to hours
Silver Lake if you can survive.
You are unfortunately 20 years too late, for that upward mobility you are seeking at a MF in traditional PE strategy
