What are hours typically like on Ops teams? I know the pay is better vs. MBB but is the lifestyle much different?

Depends on the shop - in general, MF is going to have hours similar to worse than MBB. But MM / LMM would give you better hours. As an example, I’m on ops team of a smaller shop (~$3bn AUM, $1.5bn last fund size), and I pretty consistently do 50 hours. There’s some swings in either direction depending on what’s going on in the portfolio but a “normal” week is around that for me

Appreciate it, thank you!

I’d say I average about 50 hours, definitely more intense than my MC days at PwC.

Are you embedded within the deal team? If so, that’s pretty short

A1 - you in a tech focused shop?

No - infrastructure firm with a focus on environmental efficiency & innovation / energy transition

OP - also trying to break into infrastructure and environmental efficiency at some point. How much of a technical background/previous experience do these firms want to see from candidates?
