Consulting DD: What does it look like at a boutique firm?
I'll keep it short: I received an internship at ZS at their Evanston HQ, but I was told by a friend in the firm that I can (in some ways) shape where I'm staffed for projects by expressing my interest areas. After some light research into the topic, I found the on and off nature of PE due diligence...

Hi there, I'm a freshman at a target and just got notified that I'd be advancing to the 2nd round for AKKR.

My father started off as an analyst in the late-1970s at what is now considered a top BB. He rapidly advanced all the way up to partner and was ultimately there for well over two decades (with increasing responsibility and comp each year), before deciding to leave banking (somewhat on a whim) to...

Recruiting is broken
Why don't companies communicate their comp package off the bat? or even after initial rounds of interviews? Pisses me off that they offer you a subpar comp that you know you are not going to take after 4 rounds of interviews, 2 case studies, and an on-site meeting with seniors. Total waste of time....

Right out of undergrad : BB IB or MM PE ?
PE MF vs BB IB right out of undergrad is a no brainer. But what about PE MM vs BB IB ? Pay slightly better in BB IB, lifestyle slightly better (depending on firms, could be significantly better) in MM PE, so I guess it all comes down to exit opps (or more precisely post-analyst years opps). I...

Random Things I Wished I Knew About PE
Mostly meant to be a cathartic shitpost that I’m typing in lieu of going to therapy, but I hope it resonates with the minority of this forum who aren’t the insufferable fuckers that are constantly posting Tier threads. Bring on the monkey shit, but the real ones will know there’s some truth...

Re-recruiting for PE while unemployed
A bit of context: Associate at a small, fairly new middle-market PE platform. I tossed my name in the hat and accepted the offer with the understanding that at some point it'd be a hybrid (2-3 days/week in-person) work environment and fully in-person later on, but it has been purely remote (aside...
