Which MF PE has the worst WLB?
I've heard anecdotally that APO and WP have pretty brutal hours and a cutthroat culture, but curious how they compare to other US-based MFs like BX, KKR, CG, TPG, etc. Primarily interested in US-office and corporate private equity experiences only.
Whichever one you end up working at.
I'd be keen to hear about European Offices (especially London) for both Corporate PE and teams like REPE and Growth Equity - if anyone has any information
-
The better question is probably "Which MF / MF group doesn't have brutal hours?". You may get the occasional group with a good work-life balance but by and large MFs (the PE side at least) have brutal hours.
Other arms of MFs (credit, RE, growth, etc.) are a different story. I work at a MF growth arm and my hours are good (55-60 a week on average, higher during live deals). I have friends at a couple other MF growth arms who work similar hours.
UMM here, Donnie Azoff style if you actually work those hours I'll quit my job today and come work for you
