Are you interviewing?
Have done a couple deals with them. Very broad view, look at a lot of alternatives. And when I mean alternatives I mean marinas, cell towers, etc. Not your bread and butter alternatives like self storage and industrial outdoor storage. Very smart guys, seems like a great place to be, lot of tenured people there and would get a lot of looks on very interesting deals. Were spun out of Hedge Fund Och Ziff.
Super helpful - thanks. Do you have a sense of whether it’s a decent culture? Decent hours?
Depends on level
Definitely not decent hours…know one person who works there and they are a grinder + super smart. Also know another person who used to work there and left because he hated the culture…mentioned coworkers only talking about work and sweatshop hours. But they pay super well obviously, easily $200K minimum for analyst out of college so you can probably guesstimate how it ramps from there for associates/principals.
Funny… I also know someone who left but they said the work wasn’t stimulating enough. Probably an anomaly since this person is pretty unhinged (dates interns, etc.)
Afaik they are the highest paying shop on the street… an1 $250k+ and as1 near $400k
Lol cap
Not cap…i mentioned $200K for analyst out of undergrad in my comment above and that was a data point from someone five years ago so not surprised it’s $250 today
Also curious. Have been told their interviews are very technical heavy.
I've ran into them at conferences, I liked them, they play in the same pool as Farallon Capital (merger arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, and some credit stuff). They got in trouble awhile back for bribing an official in Africa which is why the name changed, which is why we did not move forward with the investment.
Despite that past problem, they seemed smart and had well thought out processes. I challenged them on the Master Fund's cash+5% target, and they responded well, and the performance has been good (better than our Farallon fund). I do manager due diligence and research, so my opinion is probably not as helpful for you, but I am still in contact with them if you need something.
