Blackstone is the cream of the cream of the crop. You think MBB is prestigious? BX makes them look like *insert not prestigious firm here*.
$300B AUM. Fewer than 2500 employees.

As to client services, may not be as prestigious, as back office work rarely is.

A classmate works at Blackstone - and loves it. It definitely has a bit of a wall-steet brashness culture, but has been getting younger over the past decade or so and is apparently more flexible than banks. That being said, it's extremely competitive.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

Infact even after that too they didn't send me revised offer letter. There is something wrong with this company.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
