Was at both of these firms what infuriates me is the different rules for different folks (I get it that’s life).

BX - portfolio operators, cap markets, some how were allowed 4/1 vs deal teams being 5/0?
KKR - CPG, Product folk, macro team, co invest team etc were doing 3/2 up until after Labor Day of 2022, not sure what it is now.

Blackstone pulls card swipes every week and the COO of your business unit gets a report. That’s why they want you to use the virtual card in your apple wallet vs the physical card.
