Absolutely elite returns and growth, whilst also being absolutely elite in being sweaty. Great place to start your career and continue it if you're one of the few who get the promotions. Absolutely untrue, no upward mobility, know people that have gotten promoted up to VP. The real problem is getting the principal and partners promoted, but that's the norm at most of the 10Bn+ PE firms. I think the assumption for a lot of the larger cap firms is that you go in for 2 years (if not good enough for promotion and/or do an MBA) and 4-6 years if really good/get the associate promotion, and then leave to other things.
