Vista NYC Office
Anyone got any insight on this office (which teams sit here, what deal flow looks like, etc.)? Read something on here that said associates can work out of NYC soon, but not sure how true this is or whether it’d be a good idea to recruit for this office because of how small it seems. Would juniors here get significantly less deal exposure because most seniors are based elsewhere, or is it a chance to get in on the ground floor of a growing team?
Why would people get fewer deals if working out of ny?
Vista staffing doesn't work like a bank does. The Chicago, SF, and ATX teams do not get staffed on deals based on office. An analyst in Austin can be staffed with an associate in Chicago and a VP in SF. This would likely continue to NY.
So would you say there’d be no difference (career-wise) at all working out of NYC vs another office?
Correct
Interesting, is this an efficient staffing model if people only communicate by slack/email/calls?
Does that mean they are very WFH friendly?
3 days in office per week.
Office in NYC is in a new luxury building in 50 Hudson Yards (same building BlackRock and Meta moved to), and Vista offices occupy the two highest floors (floor 77 and 76). Very beautiful office with great views (from the entrance after you exit the elevator you have direct unobstructed views to the empire state building), and also incredible views looking towards downtown. Furniture, offices, desks, artwork etc. all had a very luxury modern feel, and the kitcken/cafe area had a large variety of free snacks and drinks. Only a handful of PE team members (all Senior Associate and above) have moved to the NYC office as of now, and so it's pretty much only non PE teams there at the moment (public markets team, credit, fundraising team, etc.). However there have been rumors through the grapevine that they pitched NYC during oncycle to Associates who signed with them for the PE team for 2025, and plan has been to open up NYC office to PE team in the next year or so. Issue has been finding a senior PE Partner who is willing to move to NYC and run the office from a PE team culture perspective. Staffing model is not based on office so deal experience would be no different from this office than any of the other offices
Any idea if NYC will be an option for PE analysts in the next few years?
Also interested to know this
Not to get too hijack-y, but does anyone know if TB's NYC office has any meaningful buyout representation? I'm guessing no since they only list one investing partner there, in Credit. Since the firms are so similar, I wonder if they'd start dedicating personnel there, but both are pretty much accept-on-sight offers so maybe I'm overthinking it.
I don’t think TB has meaningful PE representation in NY, and highly doubt simply due to Vista’s NYC presence that they will start doing so.
I would actually sell a kidney to work for vista in Austin
why Austin over NY/SF/CHI?
COL in Austin is much lower + has became a lot nicer of a city to live in the past few years
