A connoisseur. Hear that IBS actually has even better culture than them, associates constantly churn because they can't handle such good WLB and are bored out of their minds I am told

 

yes, it is a hugely important question, since it will determine your day to day life. and there are both meaningful differences in firm's culture/wlb and marginal differences that still have a large impact. pls refrain from commenting useless things when you have no perspective to contribute.

 

Look at this tool, acting like most people get multiple offers and have to actually consider lol.

When in reality you get one exploding offer and have to take it lol.

Keep asking these inane questions about work life balance and culture about the top companies, like there is some secret form out there that was non-toxic hardo seniors and 50 hour work weeks lol.

 

The problem with MFs is that they’re ALL getting multiple opportunity inbounds a week from banks. They have to do diligence work (which is often a pain in the ass) and sometimes execute (even bigger pain in the ass) which means you, the associate (and even VP), are not going to have a good time. So take whatever you hear about “great culture” at any of these places with a grain of salt. If you’re working at Bain, even if their workplace culture is marginally better than WP, you’re still going to hate your life because you have no time to yourself, your friends, your hobbies, or your family.

If you want culture, go UMM/MM. There are no MFs with great cultures.

 

Depends on fund size and what you consider UMM. A lot of MFs are treated as a higher priority for banks and thus get more outreach compared to a fund in the $5-8B fund range. If you define UMM as like $10B+ then ye maybe true, but definitely not true on the lower-end of the traditional definition of a UMM (which afaik as what has been repeated to me by multiple people is $5B+ fund size).
