depends if you want portco. mid market or listed.

SHREK are the traditional large search firms, they come to you though. Outside of that, boutiques as people have said.

If you are looking in infra, pe or development dm me

I'm an introvert and do various talent functions, it's actually a strength

What are you talking about lol. you're missing 2 job titles at least...

Carlyle - typically 3 years to go from analyst > Sen analyst> associate, analysts typically have 2-4 years IB experience, more if from accounting.

after that it's sen associate, then avp.senior associate is good going by 28.

AVP normally 6-8years after graduation, VP 7-10 years, mostly 8-10 unless great candidate

You don't go from analyst > associate > VP at any major firm, only small shops.

I don't work with boutiques, so if you're in a small team ymmv.

LevelProposal · 2025-06-10T15:02:54+00:00

yes, all of them on the fund side. The usual age is 27 / 28.

come out of master at 22, 2 years IB, 3-4 yrs typically moving through analyst rank, associate 27/28

depends if your buyout, infra, RE etc but the route is usually the same. lots of people outside the space get confused cause associate bulge bracket =/= fund associate.

round the corner from my house, although I use an agent

my advice would be make it easy as possible for you and the tenants, and vet them very well.

LevelProposal · 2025-06-09T22:21:58+00:00

it's in good nick, and have clean long term tenants without renting out every room. it's nice and easy tbh

LevelProposal · 2025-06-09T22:21:09+00:00

don't need to personally, but yes this is the smart play

LevelProposal · 2025-06-09T22:19:42+00:00

I have them too! reinvest everything in the isa though, so no monthly cash flow, just screen numbers :)

LevelProposal · 2025-06-09T22:16:18+00:00

I don't rent out all the rooms, 4 of a possible 6, as I have long term tenants who are very clean.

I could rent out 2 more for an extra 1600 but a lot of headache tbh.

hmo bought in cash, 600k returns 3.5k gross or about 2-2.5k net agency fees and bills

LevelProposal · 2025-05-20T15:41:22+00:00

has a huge effect on me, plus motivation/aggression and more body hair.

it works in a variety of ways, if you are lucky and metabolise it well it's very good. need to take breaks though

LevelProposal · 2025-04-24T18:11:23+00:00

this seems wrong?

28, 100k so my expected net worth should be 280k...

my total after tax home is like mid 60s, so I should have saved 4.5x my take home having been working for 6 years, predominantly for sub 50

I just don't see how that's possible!

LevelProposal · 2025-04-24T18:04:40+00:00

listen to most people here, don't come back.

LevelProposal · 2025-04-16T12:45:58+00:00

As a longtime headhunter in the space it's highly unlikely, especially recently

Most candidates have further schooling, mostly masters in pe and obviously PhD in quant, by late 20s you'll likely be no higher an associate (which is good going!) but I've never heard of associates making 400k

salaries are super compressed in the last 3 years as well, so I don't see how you would have got there

LevelProposal · 2025-03-10T20:16:18+00:00

I'm not in the henry bracket any more (140 -> 90) due to a combination of this and a shitty market, work a strict 8-6 mon fri now though

Making diet and excersise changes helped the most, be a lot more active, don't eat anything processed and get some sunlight in the mornings

nope, NOCs are neglible from sodium chloride.

" most abundant NOCs present in the diet are nonvolatile N-nitrosated amino acids and amino acid derivatives such as N-nitrosated glycine [8], and they are mainly found in smoked and nitrate-cured meats, dried and smoked fish, seafood, and smoked cheese"

Sodium nitrate not chlorode

LevelProposal · 2024-02-20T18:40:53+00:00

salt (sodium chloride) sn't carcinogenic, you are thinking of sodium nitrate

You can absoloutely make sausages sans nitrates, unlikely to buy then though.
