Sitting on offers from both. Megafund is the brand and the carry pool nobody under VP will ever see. UMM is leaner, more responsibility earlier, marginally more humane. For someone who wants to actually do the job and not just polish IC memos, which way?
UMM if you want to touch the whole deal. Megafund if you want the logo and don't mind being a cell in a very prestigious spreadsheet.
Did megafund, would do UMM if I could rewind. Ownership earlier compounds faster than the brand does.
Buyouts, portfolios, and the LBO model that refuses to balance. Promote dreams and carry mythology welcome.
