Midcap Financial?
My twin sister is applying to Midcap. Does anyone know about this firm and it’s culture? What is associate comp approximately?

Comp was pretty low (way below average) at least two years ago..I think they get away because the lifestyle there is much better with almost no weekend work.
Thanks. What does “way below average” mean?
From what I heard Associate 1 making IB Analyst 1 all-in comp
Interested to learn more here as well
Twin sister's @?
I have former juniors who work there.
I believe the pay is equivalent to the hours, meaning actual work is like 40% less than normal banking hours and pay reflects that. At least that’s what they told me. So if an associate 1 at a normal bank works average 80 hours a week and makes 400k, mid cap kid works 48 hour work week and gets paid around 240k.
However, at the small random places, I’ve noticed once you make director level and above, you can make great money.
Associate 1 was indicated $125k to $140k, +20% bonus
Thanks for the data point. That does sound remarkably low.
Do you know if they hire through a headhunter or just post on LinkedIn?
Bumping for more thoughts.
Pretty much what other commenters said - comp is low, WLB and culture are generally good. Turnover has increased as the company's grown, but a lot of people stay because on balance it's a stable / sustainable place for an upper middle class income with a chill lifestyle. Just a matter of what you prioritize but definitely doesn't check most WSO boxes. Wouldn't say there's a well worn path for exits for juniors - have been all over the place (business school, LMM PE, some upmarket moves in PC, corp dev, family offices) etc.
Thanks for the info everyone. Bumping to see if any others want to share their thoughts.
Have a close friend who works there and they pay a little below market for Associates (~$110-$140K + 30-50% bonus / i think you get a small bump every year for pay). No-coinvest or carry. Some type of extra pay at the senior levels though. WLB is pretty good though from what he says. 40-50 hrs in normal times slightly hire when staffed on multiple deals .
Deal flow is pretty good as well so you get to work on a number of deals. From my conversations, seems like it’s place where you go to have a solid mid to high six figure job in the later years and stay long term vs try knock it out the park in comp with other shop MM/UMM direct lending shops
