He's gonna be making ~180k all-in at the mid market fund in LA, for about only 60 hours of work a week vs turning down a bottom tier megafund (Warburg, TPG, etc.) in NYC which pays 240k all in. Kid is only 24 (2nd year banker) but claims he can't put up with the 100+ hours at a megafund which could be worse hours than his banking career.

does this make sense to u guys? do ppl actually turn down megafunds as bankers? i thought that shit was like the holy grail for them.

This makes perfect sense to me, and yes, people do turn down mega funds. Most don't, but it happens and I'd do the same.

happens all the time man

most people are so burned out by year two of their analyst stint that the thought of going back into the grinder again (even at 2x the comp) gives you pause

Also, comp is higher at megafunds. The $15B+ funds pay anywhere from 275k to 325k. Warburg does pay less than most though.

The megafund pays less per hour and makes him work more hours. Both of those are bad things. How do they combine to be positive?
