Been interviewing for a couple of merchant banking arms (think GS, Rothschild, or Macquarie) where it is really just the PE arm of a larger investment bank. I was curious what to expect compensation wise at the associate level. Is it one for one at the A1, A2 etc, or should you expect slightly lower...
Buying your way into a PE/VC/GE job by investing 1M (GBP/EUR/USD)??
I understand not every A3, when they are 24/25, has $1-1.5M or any similar amount in the UK or Europe. But what if I have 3 years of IBD experience from a BB and have $1-1.5M disposable ready to invest. My question: is it possible to hit up mutual funds or MM funds and say I am willing to invest but...
Unique LP/GP Setup - Governance Mechanics, Economics, Other Fun Considerations
PE Principals & Partners of WSO - I find myself in what I think is a fairly unique scenario.

GS Merchant Banking
Why do people not talk about this? All I ever see is IB on this site, yet everyone wants to exit to some buy-side investing role. Merchant Banking, especially corporate private investing, seems like it would be incredibly more relevant for exit ops to PE , VC , and Growth Equity firms. Per the job...

Merchant banking
Is the work in merchant banking more similar to that of IBD or IMD? From what I've read it sounds like it's basically Asset Management but with only one client: your own firm.
