Leave it to KKR to come in here and talk about their sweet shoes. Y'all hiring haha
Nice PE lifestyle. I’m slumming it with off the rack Crockett’s
John lobb. Just did the classic black cap toe Oxford. Museum calf
~6k. It's just a requirement now. I came from consulting last year (after MBA) and always wore AEs. Just the peer pressure.
Share a pic of shoes you ordered ..can't wait!
No one will call anyone out. EM1 is right, you're not going to see an associate wear bespoke. VP and above and you start getting into that.
@IBM1 I don't think it's pretentious. Its just what you want to spend your money on. I value comfort and style and I have the means to spend my money on it, so why not.
6k?? Jesus. I’d need to have an inordinate amount of money to even consider that. To each their own though. Good for you OP! Would love to see a pic
I'm still waiting for a picture of these things
I went for a fitting over the weekend. Will definitely share when I go to the second fitting!
Where from? And care to share details (type, color, leather, etc)
Also we do hire, but you'll need to have some very specific skills to be an experienced hire not out of IB. Think: Bain PE deals team.
So pretentious, holy. Barely anybody will recognize the difference between a pair of C&Js Handgrade which you can pick up for $500 VS $6K on a pair of custom Lobbs. To each their own.
Show us pics when you get them! Do you have a link for what they will look like?
Lobb bespoke? Dude. You don’t have gear good enough to run with that. Unless you’re also rockin’ Kiton M-T-M. And if you are, respect, Youngin’
Good Lord I just looked up John Lobb. What did those shoes set you back?
Nice! How much did that run you op?
@OP would anyone really call you out for not having custom shoes? Frankly I don’t like AE so can understand, but what about high end off the rack like Gucci or C&J?
6k is steep. I can't imaging that's standard for analysts and associates at PE shops.
@OP the internet says its impossible to join PE post MBA without PE pre-mba. How did you do it? You're giving me hope.
Never thought I'd say this but... Shoe Porn? Yay! Pics please...
