Could anyone kindly help me understand what legal & compliance teams at PE houses do day to day, please? I'm still in law school and interviewing for a Summer Analyst position at Blackstone next week. I have a rough idea but would be good to hear from people with first hand experience. Would also appreciate any guidance on any questions that might be asked/that I should prepare.

Thanks!

I can't speak to the company but can tell you that (generally speaking) compliance roles involve you stress testing current policies to ensure the company is protected against wrong doing. Think the wells Fargo banking crisis. You can do this a number of different ways.

It also involves you learning the relevant laws and ensuring current practices are in compliance.

I joined JPMC last year mid. I was not give any hike last year as I was told that it’s been just few months since joining. I was given a bonus though (1.5 l)

Can you guide me with what % of hikes can one expect for highest rating? Also what’s the average hike % that usually jpmc offers? Also is bonus related to the hikes % or like 2x of last bonus something?
Would bringing in an offer before appraisal affect my hikes to get better?
