Anyone have any views on the funds group at Weil Gotshal in London? Considering a move there as a lateral (5th year associate so mid-senior level) but have heard that a number of junior / mid levels have left (so the group feels quite top heavy) and rumours about partners potentially not sticking around...

How's the data science team in Gurgaon? Any insights, anyone?

Does anyone’s practice also include patent lit? I’m thinking of switching from prosecution to litigation (my firm has separate lit and pros practice groups). If you practice patent lit, is there anything that you dislike about it/anything you wish you would have known earlier?

Does anyone in here have insight into PwC’s Deal Strategy group? Just was curious what they do, what the day to day looks like, etc. Seems to be difficult to get any insight on it anywhere else. I’m currently in FDD and what they do seems interesting with what very little I know about it. TIA

🤣Okay FAAS people, let's plan on how to grow into the new “SaT + consulting” of Assurance Co

Currently 1-1.5 years out of college, working at a T2 firm doing commercial due diligence work. Have gotten some offers but confused about which one to take:

1. OW PE team, joining in a position higher than at my current firm, basically skipping a year. OWs PE practice as far as I know doesn’t have huge market share
2. McKinseys PE practice but coming in a position lower than where I currently am
3. Stay at my current firm which is experiencing high growth

End goal is to move to the buy side

Any feedback on PwC forensics practice? Good, bad and ugly?

Considering a move at the EM level from another T2 firm to Oliver Wyman’s Health and Life Sciences practice. Any OW folks have thoughts on the firm / the work?

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

My editor-in-chief is, let’s just say, not the most agreeable person. Tips on working better with people you strongly clash with?

We have a high paying client that texts us ( me the other associate and the partner) at a late hour - usually 3 a.m. the first time the client did it, the partner wasn’t on the thread so I told him about it and he said he’d talk to the client. Now the client is doing it again. It has once again disturbed my sleep and I can’t go back to sleep when I start my work day in 2 hours. I’m pissed. What should I do?

I’ve been finding it hard to find my place at my new job. I’m not very busy, and don’t really know people. Starting a new job over Zoom is definitely different.

So many VC funds out there how can you tell if they’re a good fund to join if they’re not a big name (a16z, Sequoia, etc)?

Anyone have a salary range for middle market VP on Ops team?

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?

For those who didn’t make the switch from IB, how much time did it take to prep to a point where you felt ready to interview for PE associate roles?

To all you wonderful folks, a fundamental question: how does one break into PE Ops? Have 10+ yrs in top tech (FAANG) and 2 yrs in MBB as EM. Also, wondering if it makes sense to hold out for AP before a move?

Those with PE offers that are eligible for carry, was carry included in your offer letter?

Is it bad to reject a PE offer to keep recruiting? Will the HH blacklist you if you do this or is this more common than not?

Is it a good time to move into PE now with the current environment? How will increasing interest rates affect working in the space from a personal perspective?

Recommend books / trainings for learning more about PE? VC? Buy Side? Currently in Financial Due Diligence and want to start learning more about exit opps as I plan to leave in about a year or two.

Are there any MM PE firms that don’t work weekends (say 80%+ of weekends are free)? Or is this a pipe dream?

Question for other VCs, are you guys doing much financial modelling? During my interview I had to do the whole 9 yard, Dcf, comps etc. However after month 3 I have a feeling we do not really model at all - more just projecting what biz could look like with assumptions up to next stage of funding. What is it like elsewhere?
