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.

 

HC is the best team, and also brutal... can't retain junior talent
