Tikehau sucks

I went in for an interview in NYC for Tikehau's secondaries team and the guy who is head of the fund was really unpleasant. Kept being pretty condescending and terse. I also realized he was in Marketing for the firm before randomly transitioning to the investment team and he's only a director but being called head of the fund. I got the vibe that they were cheap and didn't want to pay an MD lol. Anyway, I told the recruiter I didn't get a good feeling so I'm going to bow out and stay at my current shop.

The French peaked with Marquis de Lafayette, and it's been downhill for them ever since.

Saying the french peaked is like saying there's a mountain but it's underwater, france never got the chance to peak

Remember, always be kind-hearted.
