Does anyone have any experience with/knowledge of Hellman & Friedman? Specifically NYC? Interested in PE recruiting and their team/performance looks top notch, but worried about culture and WLB

I’ve heard H&F is an absolute sweatshop, but only from an Associate in SF. Don’t know about NYC. Definitely a top notch shop though

More or less what I’ve heard as well about SF, was hoping NYC is a bit better

Friend is out in SF and went specifically because they have better WLB than other PE firms. He’s brilliant and easily a high performer. It’s still PE though

I’ve heard they’re better than Golden Gate out west, but admittedly, you’ll get better intel reaching out to ex-Bainies currently there.

Berkshire is top notch and quite good lifestyle and culture wise, from friends who have worked there. Not sure about the others you list but there are definitely Bainies who have exited there, so would encourage you to reach out!

H&F has a fantastic reputation, very good returns, and very good comp. Will likely work quite hard but not many people in PE would turn down an interview there

Deloitte GPS Business Analyst vs Mercer Health Consulting Analyst?

Deloitte's offer is 7K more and in a cheaper area. Equal interest in both jobs, slight preference for Mercer for people + culture. Leaning towards Mercer because I graduate in Dec and can start in Jan vs having to wait until next summer for Deloitte + location (although higher COL)

Concerns:

Exit opportunities
Pigeonhole-ing myself into health consulting / How hard would it be to join Big 4 in a year or two if I don't like it

I have three years of experience in agency recruiting and HR. I’m currently making 47k as an HR Coordinator.

I don’t love the company’s culture so I’m going to keep looking but would it be worth leveraging the offer with my current org? I’ve only been there for 7 months

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE. People may arrive at different destinations at different times while being on the almost similar path.
