Private Equity in Europe
All,
I am an analyst 2 at a top LMM fund, located in the USA. I have taken part in many closed transactions and joined from a pretty well-known fund in New York. I also attended a semi target college and graduated with distinction.
I speak Italian fluently (have citizenship) and was wondering what the PE scene was abroad, particularly Milan. Can anyone provide any color on comp, top firms, if fluency is required, best headhunters, culture/hours, etc.? Pardon my ignorance here, and thanks all for your time.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into the Private Equity (PE) scene in Europe, particularly Milan:
Compensation
Top Firms
Language Fluency
Headhunters
Culture and Hours

For more detailed and specific information, you might want to explore further discussions and threads on Wall Street Oasis or consult with headhunters who specialize in the European market.

PE in Milan in the LMM to MM space is dominated by local funds that are paying less than MBB Consulting (let alone IB) and with no WLB
Not sure about the WLB comment if you work in MM. I worked on a small cap PE in Milan and have friends who work in other shops and the WLB is def good.
I also worked in IB in Milan and can tell that at large cap funds life tends to be worse but think this is aligned with London/NYC
