+7 on the first time fund, the questions you listed are not the ones that matter. comp structure and pipeline are secondary. the whole thing lives or dies on one question: where is the equity coming from. LedgerShelf
+7 Golub commentary above is accurate, top brand and very respected. That said, upward mobility is tough and WLB for juniors i have heard is not great.  Deals are also more vanilla. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 And look at how many absolute shit GPs have cost their LPs all their money over the course of this past cycle, and are skating away having fee'd the shit out of their deals! Ozymandia

+7 Why not sell to recycle the capital into better opportunities? BayAreaNative
+7 This is interest/skill agnostic so adjust on basis of that: Research Analyst in AM - FI

+7 patsfan947Pretty poor taste to out them like that.  IsItREPE
+7 I think the kool-aid for an 'investing career' has kinda dried out? I would not say people are less interested. Associate 2 in PE - Other

+7 I won’t give you unsolicited advice but maybe this will be a helpful perspective. AGNRX1188
+7 Might be the least frightening gif I have ever seen. I've felt more afraid in the Whole Foods parking lots.  I think you might just be a pussy.  CRE

+7 I usually just browse this site for entertainment, but I see a lot of my past self in this post. A few words of advice: Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+7 Agree that scale is usually the big issue with new funds. They raised a bunch of money, but it is super competitive to put money out right now and meet the rates that investors were promised. CRE Credit
+7 Personal view only - take it with a grain of salt.  First_Lien_Larry
+7 They probably need to 3x-4x output/productivity in the Americas to get to #6, I.e. not going to get there Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 My personal view is: be as totally involved as you can be.   I took full advantage my company's parental leave and also tacked on most of my vacation time to the end of it. UFOinsider

+7 Get off of wso and talk to a girl man GDUDs

+7 I imagine he is referring to the coveted C&R M&A vertical within Deloitte Corporate Finance - extension of the internationally renown, Big 4 Advisory firm, Deloitte Monaco Man
