Any information on the pre-MBA associate role at TCV in Palo Alto? I know it's primarily a sourcing model, but I'm more concerned about lifestyle (typical hours), predictability of schedule, weekend work, overall culture, and compensation. Thanks all.

Very curious about this one too. Please inform.
Anyone have any thoughts on TCV?
I'd say total comp is ballpark $150k (depends on a few variables). Hours are about 80+/week. You will work on weekends. Pretty much what you would expect.
The culture is good. Fun guys. Why not look into Insight Venture Partners as well?
80+ hours per week, with weekend work, for $150k? That's less than I'd make as a third year, and I'd probably work less as a third year as well. Is this accurate?
From what I've heard, it's primarily a sourcing model. Is it really that close to Summit/TA where you source 8-8 then work until midnight?
$150k includes bonus? any idea on what base is? thanks
$110k base, bonus target of 70-100%.
can anyone confirm the 80+ hours a week for TCV? so basically lifestyle stays as bad as you move from being an IBD analyst?
are the hours different in the west coast office?
thanks brahs
also does anyone have any comments on lifestyle at west coast offices of firms like Accel-KKR, Battery, Summit and Thoma Bravo?
asking because i think i would actually enjoy sourcing, but i don't want to go to a place where the hours are as bad (especially weekends etc.)
AKKR and Thoma both grind hard from what I’ve heard. Thoma is more purely PE / buyout than growth / VC though, unless they raised a new fund I’m not aware of
Update on TCV? Comp seems trash not sure if worth leaving UMM comp for something like that
Its pretty typical no? 200k -250k for associate role is pretty standard at growth / vc funds
