Anyone have perspective on these seats? Viking, Coatue, and Elliott seem to be the most established but there isn’t much info out there — any thoughts on how attractive they are, positioning in the broader platform, etc.? How would you think about an opportunity at one of these places if you’re currently at a MF/UMM firm?

Very familiar with Viking privates, what do you want to know?
You think it’s worth leaving a MF an/aso seat for something like a Viking (for privates)? What’s the culture like? Analyst comp? Promotion visibility? Sorry for the barrage of Qs haha. Thanks!
