FS and HCLS groups are worse than the general FDD in terms of hours and culture

likefunny

I'm in the general group but feel free to DM if you have questions

like

I’ve been in the group for 2 years and have loved it. Hours are on average slightly higher than totter groups due to deal flow but overall I’ve loved the ppl in the group that has made it worth it. There are some partners tho that are d1cks so as long as yiu can find one partner you can stick with them for a long time due to their hugh deal volume

like

Do you know if the group is hiring by chance? I see listings from kpmg but doesn’t make note of any specific industry vertical and I have an FS background

like

Hours are worse than PE/ corporate. Very understaffed. People are nice though with exception of a couple of the partners

I can refer to GT! DM
