Hey yes, just the fries in the bag with some ketchup is good
Sounds good! That’ll be my pleasure. Want to add a shake for $5.99?
Thanks for the reflection. What are you looking to do after PE? And do you still maintain good relationships with the people you worked with at Graham?
I have a side hustle that was 3x my W2, so I’m diving in full time and investing to grow it.
I’m maintaining a relationship with a couple of people at Graham.
FYI that it is very easy to figure out who you are. You may want to consider taking this down.
What are they gonna do? Fire me?
The real downside to someone figuring out who you are is that they start to question your maturity and professionalism if you’re the type of person to air your grievances (no matter how justified) in public online. Your reputation is everything in this industry (informal reference checks with friends and former colleagues are very common) and you don’t want to be associated with anything negative if you can avoid it.
The firm might deserve it (and I know a lot of firms are toxic cesspits) but when you throw mud back your hands get dirty too and people start to look at you differently as well.
Since you left. Mind sharing what your comp / carry was
$120K base + $20K bonus. Booty buns.
No carry
How were your hours?
Well. I figured out why I was terminated. Mind you, I was never told anything other than “You’re doing great. Keep it up”. My boss would sometimes fake fire me because we had such a good, fun rapport.
Well. They terminated me in April. In May, the two partners hired their nephew as an analyst. Wasn’t nearly enough deal flow for him to be at all justified if I was there.
You went to work for a fund whose office is the second story above retail lots in a strip mall and didn't think it was going to suck?
There is a well known MM PE firm called graham partners or something, sounds like this is not that?
