The list goes on..... I'm not going to give the name of the PE shop, but this should show that PE is truly an elite club and a degree from a prestigious university at either the undergrad or MBA level is pretty much necessary, but not required.
yea like we really give a shit..and yes i go to an ivy
I'll just finish it off
I was kind of bored.
Thought it would be helpful for those who want to get into PE.
This post is kind of useless, I agree
dude..i know ppl from middlebury, usc, osu working at top pe shops...i dont know what this post is intended to convey
...mods please delete and i wish we had ibankingoasis university..so ppl could actually graduate before they are allowed to post
its intended to show that while not impossible to get into PE from a non-top school, it makes things easier obviously if you do go to a top school.
You can delete it. It doesn't really do much other than state the obvious.
If people typically went straight from school into PE this list might be somewhat helpful. I would like to see the list of what people did prior to working at this PE firm. Also, PE is more than just 1 or 2 top shops. I'd like to see a sample from some smaller shops. "Top PE" might be ultra-exclusive, but for those that want to do PE and don't need to be at KKR or Carlyle, Wharton isn't a requirement.
DUDE it's FUCKING interesting, that's why he wrote it. It might not be interesting to you personally, but someone will find this type of info of some use or motivation. It's much better than some fuck asking for advice on his career prospects when he's got a 2.3 and is from bummfuck university and majored in reprographics. Capisce?
THANK YOU FOR THe POST...
I didn't mind reading it.. For those who are bored, click the 'back' button and proceed to go to your respective handicapped bathroom stall and wack it to your respective alma mater.

Was your post about your first week at your BB really that much more value added than this post... In the grand scheme of things, both are irrelevant.
I suspect that you are the walking ibankingoasis who you referred to in your original poster a few days ago and that the UPENN girl is actually your girlfriend.
I was just bored that's all.
I thought this might be interesting. It's an elite PE shop and you can use this information to judge for yourself and make any inferences about getting into the industry.
it is interesting and better than 90% of new threads here. Thanks JambaMan, don't know why everyone feels the need to be such a dick.
I agree, a little more relevant would be what they did before they joined PE. I suspect the reason they all come from top schools is because they came from a top firm which gets most of its recruits from top schools. Sounds obvious, but has to be pointed out.
target schools ---> top banking jobs ---> top PE shops
Very true. However, 10 minutes on CapIQ will teach you that you don't need to go to a top PE shop to have a good job, make good money and live a good life - financially.
The problem comes in the fact that most A-types can't handle anything but the best; they need the top brand names to feel like they "made it."
jambaman, you're a douchebag, shut the hell up.
It's an interesting list and highlights people's backgrounds. I would attach the name of the PE firm (i.e. if it's not privately held information).
And people, stop the bantering.
I don't think there's anything surprising there at all. Pretty much what I would expect: heavy on Harvard and Wharton, with a few people from other top schools and then a couple of real grinders from some smaller places.
A club full of "elite" lemmings? I'm sorry...couldn't help myself. I hang around way too many people who view the flow of Ivy league human capital as a contrarian indicator.
I didn't used to think school matters, but when you go to a meeting and people are introduced around and the slide with people's backgrounds comes out people respond differently to a junior banker based on their alma mater. I think it sends a signal to the client that they can trust the people they are working with are competent (not that people from non Ivy are not competent, but being Ivy is like an instant certification in the clients eyes)
How do you get a BA from wharton? I think they only offer BS.
