Silver Lake - Analyst (London)

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have info on Silver Lake's analyst programme in London? Any info on responsibilities and career progression would be appreciated, i.e. is there a path to promotion for homegrown analysts? How does the position compare in terms of opportunities and potential exits with starting at a top group at GS/MS? What are the pros and cons of focusing on tech early on? I know that SL is a great opportunity in the US, but I'm also still unsure what to think of their European operations.

Thanks!
