Hi
I'm new to posting in WSO, but have been trawling through for years now and finally have a question!
I'm interviewing for an associate position with TB in London and would love to hear thoughts from anyone who is familiar with the role and company:
1) What the role is like? What the TB difference between investment or portfolio associate roles? Is there much overlap between these two groups in terms of the work they do? Why does a MM fund like TB an investment and portfolio team given that much larger funds don't? Can you try out a bit of portfolio work as an investment team member and vice versa?
2) general office culture, work hours (average hours vs spikes when deals are live), how successful the company is (e.g. average IRR, reputation in the field) and what does progression for juniors look like (how long do you stay in each role, is it up or out, do you get 'spun out' into a portfolio company etc.)
Any tips would be greatly welcomed!
Thanks!
no
You don't recommend? Could you explain why - keen to know?
Also, would anyone know what to prep for the case study for Towerbrook? Have never done case studies, therefore, curious how to approach this.
Please PM
Sent you a pm as well. thanks
Hi there, it’s a strong upper mid-market fund. They work across sectors and you get good exposure as a junior. Happy to give you some more info if still relevant!
Please do
Anyone else here who took the modeling test? Please PM
I interviewed for the Portfolio role at TowerBrook in London a few years ago and I had a few in-depth conversations with one of their previous portfolio associates who has been at TB for two years (PM for more info).
Takeaways on the Portfolio role:
TB has a great reputation in the MM as TB is basically a spin-off of Soros family office. However, the former employee I know told me that the culture is quite cut-throat, very competitive.
Has anyone completed the case study? Please PM
Are they hiring right now for 2021?
Which headhunter covers them? Or you went through referral?
Has anyone completed the test and the case study? Please PM
Do you know if the case study model was template based or needed to be built from scratch?
I completed the test .. not the case study
I had no feedback
what is the comp like?
