+1  transaction opinions and fund opinions are the ones with the most potential to exit, their work is a little more modeling centric and they also get paid more within fva compared to other groups. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 haha aggressive take, my normal routine is certainly not 4 hours of sleep, that's just my cutoff time to keep me disciplined and going, basically I'm not going to skip my workout because I'm too tired and only got 5 or 6 h Gohard

+1 You can times this sentiment by a thousand for hedge fund hires. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 I actually agree with this sentiment and don’t mind it being applied for gigs that don’t require much mental horsepower. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 I know you work in IB, so cause and effect get muddled up, but there’s a reason why the West tolerates it and others don’t. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 2/3rd of the fund is co-invests across BX strategies as you mentioned, but ~1/3rd of the fund is for direct investments and they've decided to use the vehicle for their middle-market PE strategy (in response to similar Investment Analyst in HF - Other

+1 You are a self admitted cuckhold, why would anyone on this forum or in life take advice from a man who lets bulls tag team his wife? And then hating on a man who is far more successful than you could ever be? therealgekko
+1 Christophiish LooseLeaf
+1 Not in PE myself but my mentor was an associate and heard a similar story. Ended up working out great for him as he came in as Head of Finance while they transitioned out the CFO. Manager in CorpDev
+1 Investment Analyst in HF - Other Works at The Family Office
+1 . lollololol
+1 I’ve seen the same ranking way to many times from a “VP” (probably from BofA/Citi) trying to justify that PJT/EVR are below them in the UK Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Bank dependent, year dependent, budget dependent. One year a bank may decide they want a bigger commodities presence and therefore the desk needs more junior headcount.  nutmegger189
+1 I honestly think at this point its the same guy on different accounts  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 what do you give the man who has everything? (more books) Horatio Horatio
+1 This is the correct take. I’ve learned more in my 1st year in PE than my 2 years of banking. The level of responsibilities across all DD workstreams, portfolio management, engaging directly with management teams, etc. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 For office environments, opt for clean, versatile fragrances with moderate projection and good longevity—nothing too bold or sweet. Mice786
+1 eid is a recruiting hedge. banks fill seats early to reduce variance. conversion rates are high. it is cheaper to hire you now than run a full process later. OFFERGOBLIN
+1 there is only one nontextual number in this post. what else would i be referring to gordoongeekoo
+1 Don't want to play Mr Hindsight, but this is the crazy part. Think if you just had that 300K in a ETF or Index fund. What I argue all the time on the opportunity cost of even a 10%ish down payment. CPMA's15
+1 Haven't you heard? Racism is ok as long as it's against the "jeets"  Intern in Consulting

+1 Don’t disclose. I had a misdemeanor assault charge (dismissed not yet expunged) didn’t raise any flags, no reason for you to raise it Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Was in a process with them. The majority of the fund is co-investment across the platform but they also do their own dedicated MM deals.  CEO in IB - Gen
+1 University of Hawaii bros… it’s over for us Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 It's not tough to get into HSW after 3 years at Bain. Depending on geo, you will have a lot of your supervisors / peers coming from one of the schools or you could at least network with them. Felixfab
+1 It is worth to start in PEG as an AC, but not to break into BizOps. PEG as an AC would mainly bring you in corporate M&A, PE/VC jobs and sometimes HF. Felixfab

+1 I’d maybe be interested in this. Have a client that fits these guys. How to find you to speak. Director in CorpStrat
+1 Spoke to a former Jefferies recruiter today. Apparently OC hiring slows all the way down around this time and will pick up in January. I don’t think they are scheduling first rounds after OA just yet. WSoMonkey93
+1 What is the right number for doing active buy and builds? Imo it's 2 but maybe I'm not going hard enough in the paint. Beyond that and you get sloppy.  What does Audax do? Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Super helpful, thank you. In that case, would you say rapid toolkit development is the main benefit of PEG for someone with my goals (BizOps; maybe CoS @ Series B+)? Intern in Consulting
+1 While I agree that it’s a pain, I got plenty of calls without being in a club or a frat. I feel like you are just not reaching out to enough people. I think you’d benefit a lot from asking an upperclassmen for help. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I would refer to this post above, you're in a similar bucket:   PM in HF - Other
+1 bump nontarget target
+1 PJT and CVP bonuses were today, any numbers? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah, from someone I know there, the deal team doesn’t really do pitch work. It’s pretty much all execution, and like you mentioned, there’s a separate research team that puts together the pitch books Anonymous Monkey

+1 I've often had a debate with a former roommate of mine about whether "work ethic" and "skill" can always outpace the industry you work in. marketMergerMaddie
+1 You're absolutely right—this shift in the private equity (PE) landscape is a fascinating reflection of how the industry has matured and evolved. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 thank you so much. I have a bunch: Firstly, what are your goals & background? What were your other options & why'd you choose Georgetown? Are you ft/pt, online/in-person? pbgrxavel
+1 Late bump but about a quarter through reading this book, "Winning Moves: 105 Proven Ways to Create Value in Private Equity-Backed Companies." It does a great job explaining why B Business School in CorpStrat
+1 that’s factually incorrect. DEI has significant impact but it doesn’t constraint white men at all. It’s a system created by them and for them. VP in IB - Restr
+1 $1m total comp seems to be a reasonable baseline expectation, hope for a bit on top Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 From what I've heard its around 70-85 hours a week. People usually get in between 7-8am and end by 11-midnight. ads123
+1 Plenty to do around the south, especially if willing to do unpaid (I would say this is a bad idea more often than not). crustycrustacean
+1 Thanks for sharing! Super interesting how much the market has evolved in such a short period of time.  For reference: I'm coming from a non-target without a strong ER/CR pipeline or training. reddemon

+1 there's nothing in IB/banking (or even engineering at this point) that cannot be easily taught to domestic students/talent that would require sponsorship for non US people. IB and banking is already highly saturated. Intern in CorpStrat
+1 It is pretty common. There are 2 options:  Felixfab
+1 Sda mcf would be last. It's not as good as the MiF from universita bocconi.  Brag680
+1 I’ve heard gt, ut, ucla, Berkeley don’t scale up for their size. Cornell also feeds into DC as well, also Boston. Places some nationally as well. Vandy goes to dc, Atlanta, tx offices (they do recruiting together). Intern in Consulting
+1 Buy SATS equity. They sold spectrum to Spacex in exchange for Spacex stock. You can do the math on where SATS “creates” Spacex (share price and market cap) and how that compares against your view of post-IPO value. Delphi
+1 Updated. Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 I know someone who "successfully" negotiated this arrangement and operated this way for years. It did, however, ultimately impact his upward mobility and he no longer works in the industry.  VP in PE - LBOs

+1 I didn’t need to read an article to know that DEI is a load of crap and purposely puts down white young males in professional world, we’ve already experience this for years. Anonymous Monkey
+1 I think having the larger networks of people who are looking at the same problems you are and taking different approaches helps you challenge and refine your own approach. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
