EB/BB Class of 2021 Exits
Does anyone know how this year's analyst class has been placing so far for PE/HF recruiting? Would be curious to know how each firm/group is doing.

JPM TMT kid I know went to KKR. Not much but hey that's one data point...
How are this group’s exits? Isn’t it now tech and m&t too
Yup one KKR one WP and some UMM
Is this for SF office or NY?
Know a kid at GS TMT who got KKR (shocker), and heard EVR had a few apollo offers this cycle.
Is this RX or M&A? Or both?
I heard 2 EVR RX w/ Apollo offers but unconfirmed
[comment deleted]
Heard MS M&A had some H&F/TPG
Curious how MoCo and PWP did

Anyone know how PWP did?
Bump
Any info on Greenhill/Centerview?
Also interested (pref info on Greenhill)
Greenhill isn't even an EB
They still exit like one though.
Anyone know how db is faring this cycle? Still possible to make it into PE from there? (at least umm?)
Late response - know an analyst there that is a good friend and was talking about headhunters reaching out, although this person mentioned they were going to go for off cycle recruitment.
Any details on rx shops?
Curious about EVR/PJT, both have had a stellar year so would be interesting to see the results.
Would love to hear about HL as well.
Coverage or RX?
From what I’ve heard, PJT sent two to Centerbridge PE, one to Apollo, and one to Oaktree so far EVR two to Apollo HL one to Centerbridge HF, one to Apollo, one to Anchorage, and one to TPG SS
Curious to see where everyone else who recruited across the 3 went though as well as how Lazard did
and baupost
Can confirm from someone in the group I know...PJT RX send one to Baupost, one Apollo PE, one Oaktree Special Sits, two Centerbridge, one TPG Real Estate
Except for the TPG kid, sounds pretty standard for them
Can confirm as well have spoken with one of the people you mentioned
What's the consensus on Oaktree SS? Rep, comp, etc.
One EVR group’s exits in 2021: KKR, TPG, Blackstone, LGP

Curious as well - don't think it was the NYC office

Also curious about Moelis exits
I know two kids from RBC that ended up at Golub and Apex Partners. If you're smart and personable, you can break in from anywhere.
Any idea what group they were in?
Bump
GS Industrials did better than GS TMT. Industrials placed into KKR and few other MFs
Laz exits included multiple at American Securities, Centerbridge, and Lindsay Goldberg in addition to CD&R, Cerberus, Harvest, L Catterton, Siris, TA, Thoma, etc.
Sheesh
What does comp look like for people who transition to PE. I know carry slowly starts to creep in but as far as salary and even the bonus. Does the bonus get paid out every year or every other year?
Extremely rare for carry to be given at the associate level, especially for larger funds. In PE bonus is usually paid out every year.
Comp for top MFs will usually be in line with or slightly below top EB comp. TBH my comp data might be outdated by a couple of years, but from my knowledge, MFs usually pay around $350K all in. AS1 at my EB is right around there for middle bucket. Apollo is known to pay the most by a significant amount, but if you are comparing the top paying PE fund, you have to compare it with the top paying IB (Centerview). Then again, Centerview pays a bit more.
MM and LMM funds will pay significantly less than banking across the board relative to IB firm size.
Anyone know how UBS/DB/WF ended up placing?
^wondering the same
DB TMT to General Atlantic I heard of a UBS kid to a MF tech firm WF isn't on the same level as the others. Probably LMM / MM
How did Evercore Menlo Park place?
Bump
,,,
Citi/Baml Fig?
Bump again on PWP
bump re: barclays
whys everyone trying to get into PE seems so fucking crowded for what seems to be a dead end career
I think it’s just the optionally y after your stint. But I don’t buy into 100% either - people just need a path to follow to have structure in their lives.
is it common for the analyst to tell each other where they are going?
EVR Menlo Park tech?
Curious about this group too
The group is still being developed. I think they've been around for a few years, they don't take many people, and most of the tech deals the NY team will work on or lead as well.
