Contacted by a recruiter for a position at their firm. Went through an interview and did well. Asked me to come back for another round but I'm iffy if I want to proceed further. A friend sent me their returns and they were bad, like definitely lower quartile.
Also heard a ton of senior deal makers left the firm over the last few years.
