Coming from GS, I disagree with JPM. Nothing can beat the aggressiveness of IB. BLK is the worlds biggest AM so you do have to keep in mind that the firm is looking to grow and didn’t get there by being gentle. Other than that working here is amazing, more laidback than I’d expect for the firm.

It’s awesome and I disagree about cutthroat culture. Not sure if JPMC has worked there and is speaking from personal experience, but if so, could be localized to one particular area. I have worked there almost 8 years and have enjoyed my experience. What group are you interviewing with? Each group may differ somewhat in interview style so it’s hard to offer blanket advice other than be your usual, charming self.

I haven’t worked there but only hear good things from peers. The industry is cutthroat by nature but I hear BLK’s culture is great. Apparently the benefits package is above average as well

How is the private equity side.

It is pretty multifaceted. Started as a fund of funds and has now expanded into direct investments and co-investing. We are not a traditional buyout shop like the big brand names. We do different, more unique stuff. The teams across Long Term Private Capital, Decarbonization Partners, and PEP are very talented.

I have heard really good things about them. I had a friend who worked there and she said the culture and wlb are great. She also said the benefits are good.
