Golden Gate Capital, Sycamore, or Charlesbank? I am far along with all 3 and am wondering how people would stack them up in terms of brand, b-school exits, and culture/hours?

I would go with Charlesbank > Golden > Sycamore based on WLB and culture

I'm going to have to go with Charlesbank on everything. Sycamore is a close second.

Echoing the Charlesbank comments. They are spun out of the Harvard endowment fund so B-school placements are pretty elite due to the connections. Exits are solid as well with multiple folks going into CEO/CFO roles after leaving. Culture is great as well. Sycamore has deteriorated a bit lately on culture and still has good b-school placement but not as great. Less familiar with GGC

Hi guys

I am having 3 years of experience in core java and spring boot. How much salary I can expect from Brillio.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
