Seems the list of “top tier” PE and growth equity shops is limitless now thanks to the never ending bull market (less the hiccup last March). Anyone have advice on how to narrow down a list to recruit for from BB IB Coverage group?

Sliverlake comes to mind
silver lake does not come to mind as a shop with good WLB, but the pay part is there
r/wooosh
Oh really, do elaborate, since WP and SL are my choices for MF with top culture.
Heard Montagu has pretty decent WLB and great pay. EU only firm though.
Any information on Charterhouse WLB?
No clue :(
Only fund that pays moderately well, has decent deal flow and has strong work life balance is TPG Growth. $275K/$325K a year during your associate stint for an average of 60 hours a week is pretty optimal. Every person I know there was very happy to talk about their experience given the hours, pay, direct promote. Heard some negative things about the big / sexy deals getting taken out by the buyout fund which sucks, and that you get siloed into an industry.
I’ve heard conflicting things about WLB at TPG, but I think that’s about the buyout fund. Why do you think there’s such a big difference between growth/buyout?
Because growth diligence is a joke compared to buyout diligence.
Friend there is currently getting crushed, YMMV
growth or buyout?
It's cause historically a large part of the job description was to study for and take the ACTs. Times have changed.
