Vista to Thoma Bravo
Hello WSO. This is my first an only post, but essentially I have just accepted a FT analyst offer from Vista and was wondering if it would be possible to lateral to another tech firm, specifically Thoma Bravo. I like Vista, but I think there might be more of a culture fit at TB, but I have only ever seen them hire Aso from IB, never from PE analyst positions. Obviously staying at Vista is not a bad alternative since I know I want to do tech investing for the foreseeable future, but after reflecting on my intern experience I think I would do better somewhere else.
Of course, Vista is one of the best tech investing firms by far and you’ll definitely have the chance to lateral to a place like Thoma. On a side note, would you mind sharing what the FT process looked like? Any cases?
H&F better then both
Looking at your comment history it's crazy to think an intern at MS NY M&A can be this delusional hope life goes well for you man
Bump. In the same boat but not Vista / TB.
As an analyst, you will be doing the same DD tracker on the same deals at both firm lol
What do you even do as a PE analyst?
Heard the two firms hate each other, so you may not even get any looks from TB simply because you are from Vista. Then even if you lateraled to TB, you’ll burn all the bridges at Vista, which may or may not be something you care about.
It's also very likely that the two have an agreement not to poach talent from each other. Vista and Haveli (Brian Sheth's new firm) have an agreement in place not to recruit from each other.
Not apples to apples given that arrangement was likely put into place to allow Sheth to cleanly leave in exchange for him not looting Vistas best people.
Crazy how you got a Vista offer with your terrible writing skills
Is it?
wtf did I just read. some kids are truly never happy - oh no I got an mfpe analyst offer, wondering if I can go to another mfpe …
Pretty easy to tell who u r LOL
Bump - would same rationale from Vista to TB apply the same for Vista to FP/H&F/SLP?
Bump
Vista is very good
