What mega fund is >$300 Bn?

Sorry, I should have mentioned. I'm Singapore based and we only call it Dollars here.

What is an investment team at a portco....?

I see. But how can I start working towards it? Networking my way into PE seems like the only way, I guess?

Completed all the interviews and had positive feedback but before the offer I spoke with the recruiter (third party) and asked them if I can get to a certain compensation number as I might have couple other offers around that number but they got back saying the firm has decided to move on as they cannot match it. What can I do now? Still interested in the role.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first.

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
