Yep, not all of them though

I don’t

Awesome! Which firm if I can ask?

Not from what I’ve heard

Awesome! Which firms?

I've been there, and promised myself never again.

Can you elaborate? What are the usual hours? I thought hours are noticeably fewer than consulting with equivalent or better pay

funny

This is out of context but is PE ops a value add for private equity firms?

Got it, thanks!!

It would depend on industry alignment + deal structure

Extremely rarely

I work 3-4 hours during the weekend. Nothing crazy, but its obviously preferable to not have to work on weekends at all.

How about PE deal teams? (Or is this even a stupid question?)

The latter

Not everywhere! Find a great team and culture.

Best PE ops firms for WLB? Thanks!!

Wouldn’t the answer to this question be like every other company?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
