Have met some associates at a BX/TPG/Apollo/KKR firm say that they had all been there for 18 months and none of them had been on a closed deal. Is this common?
I’m specifically interested in tech growth/buyout but also broadly interested in hearing how many deals associates have closed in the last ~12 months across any vertical or group.
I’m in later stage VC and have closed 2 deals in the last 12 months.

you should focus on live deal experience in buyout. Experience is more or less the same if you get to final LOI. You should have 3-4 of those during 2 yr stint.
