no, everyone I know that reneged a PE offer was forced to come to the office and grind out the contract they agreed to.
I had signed an offer at Apollo NY office but reneged for an offer at Bregal Sagemount for obvious reasons (culture, comp, prestige, etc. — happy to give more info here). Apollo was pretty chill about it and didn’t ask for the $50k sign-on bonus back or anything and I have kept a good relationship with the Principal who recruited me there. He hasn’t agreed to release my soul yet though because I signed the contract in blood and was required to perform a Wicca sacrificing of my first born child.
dang dude, whys ur name ligma partners if ur at bregal? that's the most prestigious firm on the planet
thought Bregal was pretty decent
