60-70 hours is pretty much an average week for me.

Is this including weekend work or during the week only?

Flagship is the core PE fund, there are 3: US, Europe and Asia.

Impact is impacted focused MM PE. Think healthcare services, ESG-forward consumer brands, sustainable food chains, etc.

Tech Opps is MM technology investing / growth oriented buyouts.

BCV is early stage venture.

Life sciences is VC+PE style investing across pharma, biotech, etc

I average about 60 hours a week.

65-70

How much weekend work?

~65-70

What are the bain cap associate exit opportunities? Heard it’s really hard to get promoted at all levels

Anyone know if this differs across the different groups? Flagship, Impact, Tech Opps, etc.

Weekend work varies by stage of deal and the team you’re on. I’d say average is 2-3 hours at least per weekend similar to consulting a bit

Exit opps are everything: other PE firms, HFs, bschool, startups / portfolio companies generally in finance or strategy role

Tiger hires a bunch of BX and Apollo folks. Coatue hires Bain Capital, as does dragoneer

Does anyone know if any internship opportunities are going to open up in Europe for the impact fund?

Recruiting for a Corporate Strategy role (individual contributor) for a non-profit focused on the Accounting & Finance professions.

Role is fully remote (no travel), incredible WLB (seriously), and comp is $85-$110K (all base, no bonus), depending on experience, which for this role, we are targeting 2-6 years of consulting, strategy, or other similar experience. This should be considered a pre-MBA role.

DM me for additional details if interested. Thank you!

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!

The PE culture is sick. The 20 something VP was rude to our partner because our team took thanksgiving and the day before off and it was in the engagement letter that we were gonna be off. He kept emphasizing that his team did our job while we were on a break. Dude we are not sick like you and we have lives. I see something about how s**t the PE culture is in every deal we support.

Like these sickos make fun of us for working 80+ hours weeks for them and taking thanksgiving off.
