"Generalist" buy-side roles with exposure to GE and traditional PE?
Currently A1 at EB and want to exit in the next year. I am having a tough time deciding if I am more interested in growth equity or traditional private equity, and I was wondering which firms offer more "generalist" programs where associates get to work on both more growth oriented investments as well as the more debt-heavy buyouts.
Thank you all!

Warburg is an example that comes to mind - they go from pretty early stage to full buyout. My guess is that larger funds without dedicated growth strategies (LGP, Permira, etc) will dedicate capital to both earlier stage but still established companies as well as buyouts. Please feel free to correct me if I’m off base.
Also, it sounds kind of stupid, but I’ve been able to learn a lot more about upper middle market/mega fund firms by looking up the PEI300 (ranking of firms based on $ raised in the past 5 yrs I think) and looking them up on google. Adding a search term for irr, fund size, or the fund name (ex: new mountain irr) on google helps pull up a lot of helpful data from public pension fund investment memos or other websites. Might be helpful to keep track of important metrics on funds of interest (ex: fund size growth, b-school requirements, associate class size).
again, I’m only an incoming analyst so users with more experience, please feel free to correct anything.
Permira does have a tech growth fund that they raised in 2019, but yes the associate role in Menlo is both PE and Growth.
Not for tech, but KKR’s healthcare team in Menlo is also a combined role between both PE and growth
