Any thoughts on PE teams at Sidley, Goodwin, Latham, PW, Cooley, Dechert, Davis Polk. Looking for good mix of work (can be mid-market, doesn’t need to be market leading) but decent culture is a must (1800-2200 hour expectation range).

This range of firms will have wildly different sponsor clients and work (and thus, culture)

Based on your priorities, probably Dechert. Cooley doesn’t really do PE, and David Polk similarly is (and has been) trying to build a PE team. Others are top tier and will be sweat-shopy.

A2 how so?

Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue.

My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?
