Public or Private PE Shop: What's better?
I'm not talking if private deals are better than public deals for a PE party. I am wondering if you guys would rather work for a listed PE party (KKR, BX, Carlyle) or for a privately owned PE (CVC, Warburg Pincus).
Both can do the same kind of deals, but I would think that the public ones have more stress as they need to report more and things tend to be more short term focussed. In PE you want to look at the long term, so in that sense non-public PE seems better to me (Note: I don't mean that I would refuse an offer from the public PE parties listed above).
Does anybody have some insight in the differences in operations, lifestyle and pay. I would guess compensation at public funds is higher through stock options, but your take home cash is higher at the private ones.
