Wanna get some info on the European private equity firm. What's the culture? Pay for entry-level analysts/associates? Performance/reputation among private equity houses in EU and the globe?
Thanks

Interested as well
Bump
Well-regarded on the whole. I believe returns are good.
Returns are excellent. They ranked 7 on a global scale in the 2022 HEC Paris- Dow Jones 2022. Very interested in learning more about culture / comp / hours / strategy, especially for the London office.
Solid fund in London, although culturally have a rep of British and Euro elites / snobs. If you can get through that and fit in you'll be set up well for the future
Newer associate hires seem to be a bit more diverse, at least in terms of gender.
Good shop though their pay is a joke, i.e. £70k + 30% bonus in London for AS1
Are their hours extremely good? Otherwise, it really is a joke as the pay is significantly lower than for first-year analysts at most banks.
Holy fuck that’s awful. I didn’t realise it was so bad.
It is objectively the worst I’ve seen.
Any idea why so low? This is level with U.K. lower lower mid market.
This can't be true, they've got many ex bankers who would not take that salary. Worse than an.1
Can anyone confirm the 70k base + 30% bonus and that they try to kick out people after 2 years?
That both sounds awful
Nothing stand out in terms of hours. Think many "growth" funds like to label themselves as such for recruitment purposes and thereby pay a lower pay even if it's just as much an LBO fund. Think they also run a program similar to US funds where you get kicked out after 2 years to do an MBA.
friend there said around is £180k total comp for Investment Analyst
This sounds more right. Any carry?
