Would look at firms that have raised or are currently raising $10b+ funds
Thanks for the comment -- any idea where to look for info?
Additionally, do you have any insight on any of the listed firms? Specifically on performance/recruiting process/culture?
Currently an incoming 1st year at a top BB group, and getting ready for recruiting expected to kick off soon. Happy to PM if easier.
Prequin probably
Is 10 the threshold for MFs still?
If so should add: CVC, Silver lake, Thoma Bravo, Hellman Friedman, Ares, Cinven, Advent International, CDR Vista
I’m probably missing a few others.
Would refer to top 30-40 on the PEI list
