Blackstone Advisory in London
Anyone have any colour on the group both from an external perspective (prestige, dealflow, exits) and internal (hours, work style, personalities in the office)?
Who is The King of Capital?
Not Henry Kravis, no, not David Rubenstein either, but actually, Steve Schwarzman is the King of Capital . So, why does Blackstone ’s founder get the ostentatious title of being the King of Capital ? Well, plainly, because he just is the exact Master of the Universe that we would all expect him to...
BX RR vs. BX M&A vs. GH M&A
Blackstone RR, M&A and Greenhill M&A . Best for placement into megafund, pay, hours, culture (in that order)? Offers obtained. Want to see if I made the right decision.
Differences between KKR, BX, Apollo, Carlyle, Bain?
Can anyone familiar with these firms comment on how the lifestyle/culture/investment style might differ at these megafunds? Seems like a bit of a black box unless you know people working there. How are you suppose to tell headhunters your preferences?
Has anyone working at BX seen these??

Schwarzman Loves Him Some Mitt
Bloomberg ran this great interview with Blackstone's Steve Schwarzman yesterday, and it covers a lot of ground. Schwarzman goes into why all hope is not lost for Europe (in fact he's still a buyer), why he loves Catholic schools, why 45% of the country should at least pay something in taxes, and how...
Roundtable With Stephen Schwarzman

Bed and Desk/Chair for Sale in NYC
Hey all, So I moved to the city in September 2010 for a job, but recently moved out of New York. Didn't want to deal with moving some of the heavier items, so have a few things for sale. Great if you're just starting out an analyst stint in NY (a city where every penny counts!) 1) Queen size plush...

Does anybody know how solid the Blackstone Atlanta office is? From what I've gathered it is a fully executional M&A office that focuses on middle market deals. Can anybody detail what the compensation structure is like and if the office has the same exit opportunities presented to them as the other...
Blackstone is advising Greece creditors?
So I was browsing Blackstone's transactions list and saw that BX "Advised PCIC on Greece’s €206bn debt restructuring". Anyone familiar with this deal or know who PCIC (Private Creditor Investor Committee) represents? Also, why is this under BX's advisory group and not restructuring?

Blackstone PE Analyst vs. Pre-MBA Associate
Hey guys, I have a question where some of you guys might know more about. I know that Blackstone PE has a 3-4 year Analyst program, where they hire 1st years straight from undergrad.

Blackstone Real Estate - CalWest Portfolio Drama
If you're in the CRE investing business, you've heard the drama surrounding this dabacle. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304… This is an example of a CRE investment gone horribly wrong for one party and great for another: *In 2007, Walton St Capital pays RREEF/CalPERS $2.75B for 23M...

The Private Equity Draft
What does the typical Private Equity analyst have in common with a professional basketball player? Other than being ballers; they are both getting drafted younger and younger, far more so on the basis of potential than that of proven skill. Taking a page from the David Stern manual, Private Equity...

Forbes 400 Richest Americans
As if hearing Edmundo’s question of who is rich , Forbes magazine released their list of the 400 richest Americans. Topping the list as usual is Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, with Bershire's Warren Buffet in 2nd and Oracle's Larry Ellison in 3rd. So where are the bankers ? Of the top 200, 50...

Blackstone GSO Customized Credit Strategies Interview
Hi Guys -
Blackstone M&A and PE
I remember reading that Blackstone M&A generated revenue by advising Blackstone PE on acquisitions. How does that even work and how does that count as generating revenue? Do the MDs who did the deal get credit or a fee? I' d imagine BX M&A won't have to pitch to get on the deal. Is it based on the...
I can't believe
more of you would rather be an associate at a PE or hedge fund than be batman's butler. Just unbelievable.
Can I interview with BX if I already accepted a summer internship offer in IBD?
I was just invited to a first round interview with BX for the sophomore program. I already accepted an offer from a top BB ( GS /MS). Is it still ok to interview with BX? Since they are not a competing bank? Should I tell them right off the bat I accepted somewhere else or I could do that during the...

Elite Boutique: what potential exit opps are available?
Have offers from some of these boutiques. Which are best for exit opps or are they all comparable? Lazard, Greenhill, Evercore, Blackstone, Moelis
Blackstone (Advisory) exit opps?
Does anyone know if headhunters for the top megafunds generally reach out to analysts in BX advisory (like they would with GS TMT )? Or am I going to have to do a lot of networking to get interviews? I'm just worried that because Blackstone 's analyst class is pretty small, maybe HHs will focus more...
PE Recruiting Finished?
So it seems the megafunds have set a new early record for the recruiting cycle, kicking it off last week. It's my understanding that the megafunds (i.e. KKR , Blackstone , TPG, Carlyle) as well as some other large PE funds are pretty much done recruiting already. Does that mean the middle market...

Mezz Debt & Capital Structure
Oasisers, I was looking at a capital structure that was comprised of 2 tranches of senior debt and 3 tranches of mezz below it. The interesting part is that the 1st piece of mezz after the 2 senior tranches has the lowest interest rate in the entire capital structure 6.10%(mezz 1), while the 2...
SA Advice: UBS S&T, CS Equity S&T, Blackstone BAAM Portfolio Management or Blackrock PMG
I'm curious about culture, exit opportunities and compensation/career advancement if I were to stay at these firms longer term. In the future, I would stay on the sell side but likely would want to move to a (quanty) hedge fund. All the positions are in NY btw. Thanks

Blackstone/Bright Food - GNC
So whats the financial rationale behind this deal? If this is a strategic play, which I think it is (Bright Food being a strategic), then what would be BX 's exit strategy? Its pretty unusual for a strategic to team up with a PE fund since they have opposite plans (PE wants to exit in 3-5 years...
