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.

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
