+1 The age of knowledge work is coming to an end. You should max comp upfront which means Q.  green_duck
+1 Most “workout” teams at private credit are woefully understaffed and do a poor job. wallstreetmemes

+1 I can't be helpful on the UK focus, but I'd suggest a simple bifurcation between growth-oriented (Insight, AKKR, Thoma) versus value-oriented funds (HIG, Platinum, etc.), where the latter will focus on turnarounds, carve-o SaaSChimp
+1 Sorry not trying to be pedantic but are you referring to GTM in reference to strategy, actual sales roles, or GTM strategy that sits within the business unit? Venturepapi

+1 Def not apollo cuz you will start to have heart problems while you are there Assistant in Non-profit
+1 Yea I wouldn't do VC straight from uni unless you're really set to get in. Do few years of something else and then move. It's not as fun as an analyst. jpojpo
