Strong shop with good returns from what I hear. Hours and compensation in-line with other upper MM in the $3-5B fund size range - busy during deals, otherwise no facetime pressure beyond 6pm. Strong b-school exit with all recent associates placing in H/S/W
Apologies if this is a dumb question but does that mean that associates are leaving the office at 6-7 if they're not busy on a deal? How common is this? Can you also elaborate on comp? Is 250-275 all-in assoc. comp typical for this size of fund?
I've heard secondhand that comp is 300k all-in first year, which seems above market.
Not sure on the specifics. Anywhere from 230 - 275 is standard first year comp for the $3-5B fundsize range. And yes, if not busy with a deal, associates can generally leave around 6-8pm assuming they get their other work done without looking bad. That generally goes across all middle market shops.
I heard that "GI" once stood for "Genius Investors" before the second generation MDs argued it was too tacky. Can't verify this anywhere, but wanted to share for your consideration.

Culture has turned toxic. Have a friend there desperate to leave. There is a bit of a jr MD vs. Sr Partner battle going on.
Good shop that has done good deals. Willing to pay up for nice companies, looking at interesting high growth businesses.

Bump - looking for any updated perspectives on GI Partners. Heard good things about culture, b-school placement but wanted to see if anyone else had more specific thoughts
Some color below from my network:
Can anyone comment on culture and typical hours worked?
Second that ^
Having worked opposite GI, they're sweaty af. Their associates were working banking hours.
Can you elaborate please? Assuming you were on the banking side? Which industry group at GI was this?
