Following. Particularly interested in their specialty lending group.
Bump, also curious
Wlb is about the same as any other mega fund. Not Apollo levels of sweat but consistently 70+ hours. They tend to really like too BB and EB hires and are somewhat of prestige chasers. Definitely a very smart group of folks. Their top two practices or Hc and Tmt are based in SF which is a point of consideration for those looking to stay in nyc. Their only major nyc based team is their business services/industrials team.

Heard from 3 people in my network that it was pretty sweaty. No exact quotes on hours but have heard 2-4AMs are very frequent ... can anyone who's worked in / has friends in the SF office, HC or Tech, corroborate? Saw that they're still doing oncycle recruiting for 2023.
Heard from another friend that some kid at my school who went to the traditional buyout fund got crushed, like working worse hours than banking (he joined from GS).
Also interested how the growth/Rise funds compare to traditional buyout culture/hours wise.
What group?
Anyone know any comp #s? Is it below/around/above 300 all in historically?
Above
Do you know what base is / how it changes when you become a second year associate?
does their SF team send recruiters to NYC for on-cycle?
Yes, from what I’ve heard they go back and forth between NY and SF anyway so pretty normal. For OCR they flew a bunch of people out that night to interview kids in the morning.
How hard is it to stay on as a VP (either as a direct promote or going to b school and coming back)?

I know people at TPG. Going to b-school and returning exists for them. So, not a concern
Any insight on their current flagship fundraising efforts?
HC is the best team, and also brutal... can't retain junior talent
How do you think it compares to Carlyle / KKR HC?
Better team than both but I can’t speak to culture of KKR/Carlyle. TPG HC is GOATed, easily top 3 teams in the sector.
