Hi all, was wondering if anyone had any insights into the direct investing private equity group at BCI. Mainly curious about the culture, worklife balance, and pay.

Bump
In the past ~5 years they switched from a secondaries based model to a direct PE model and have been expanding very aggressively. They do very well in Canada and are actively looking at expanding further into the United States. Hours are still long (think 1am most nights), however it gets better as you progress up the chain. Also important to note they are located in Victoria not Vancouver so lower CoL however also a trade-off from a more "city" type of lifestyle.
Just wondering, you intern there before?
I haven't personally worked there but know more than one junior and a few people who have interned on the Direct PE team
How do you know the hours there? I doubt people are doing consistent 1ams.
have a buddy there right now -- its 1am during the week
Is your buddy a junior? Not a great data point if so. Junior analysts don’t know their ass from their elbow, so there will be late nights regardless of the shop. Would be interesting to know hours from experienced senior analysts or associates, though.
Fair enough -- He's a first year yeah. I'd imagine he's working a bit more than associates/principals, although it didn't really sound that way
