General Atlantic vs Bessemer Venture Partners

They're honestly two pretty different firms, and the analyst experience will be quite distinct.

Stage: Bessemer is mainly an early stage venture firm, so you'll be working at the seed, series A, series B stages. General Atlantic is very late stage operating at the Series C, but often at series D, E, F, etc. This makes the role at Bessemer much more about thinking through theses about spaces and analyzing founders and the role at General Atlantic more about expected growth of the investment. GA will be more financial of a role (e.g. you do a modeling training at the beginning of GA).

Analyst role itself: Both programs are sourcing. When you find interesting companies you feed them up the chain. One thing to note about GA is that analyst tend to have to pick a sector to operate in, whereas Bessemer is more of a generalist role.

Exits: Bessemer folks will tend to stay in earlier stage venture whereas GA will tend to stay in growth equity.

Pay: GA will pay more as most growth equity places tend to.

Lmk if you have any questions, somewhat familiar with both places analyst roles.
