I'm curious what people have heard about the growth equity Analyst program at GA regarding Hours, Comp, Culture. Also, possible comparison of their analyst program vs. that at a MF buyout shop, types of character that would go to each, and what a career path down either road might look like.
Thanks!

Hey jo1421, what a lonely thread. I'm here since nobody responded ...so maybe one of these discussions will help:
You're welcome.

I know a guy who was in a unique situation. During college, he was investing his friend's trust fund out in non-targetville USA. GA recruited him to an assoicate role within their software space. Since then, he's raised his own fund. I think he stayed at GA for 1.5 years. Safe to say he's brilliant...

Solid shop with a phenomenal track record.
Any other thoughts?

Know two analysts there and it's just sourcing sourcing sourcing.
What is the Associate role?
Analyst program as with most growth equity is 100% sourcing, but top shop especially for track record. If you hate sourcing don’t go there, do tech banking M&A and then go there for associate.
What's the Associate role like? E.g., what % sourcing, what % execution?

Curious to learn more about General Atlantic's analyst program, knowing that it is pretty sourcing-heavy.
