The turnover in pre-mba associate ranks at PE firms rivals (if not exceeds) that of cashiers at McDonalds. Much of the turnover is intentional. What you need to do is find the ones that left for other jobs, especially at competing PE firms. They likely got bumped to VP or senior associate and it will be interesting to understand the circumstances why the former and new employer differed on the candidate's value.

I don't understand why it is surprising that the associates aren't there two years later. They are probably all at HBS, Stanford and Wharton, per their hopes and dreams prior to accepting a position at the fund.

]]> Comment on Know how much traffic your site gets? Many private equity firms don’t. by Theo O'Brien http://www.pedatabase.com/blog/2009/05/know-how-much-traffic-your-site-gets-many-private-equity-firms-dont/#comment-465 Theo O'Brien Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:28:45 +0000 http://www.pedatabase.com/blog/?p=94#comment-465 In my experience, venture capital firms are MUCH more tech-savvy and conscious of their internet image than the bigger buyout firms. Mostly, the buyout giants care that their investors and potential LP's can easily access their information. Venture capital, on the other hand, is a very technology-based industry and reached its height during the dot-com era, so it's no surprise that VC's care about who visits their sites and who they are reaching. I would think more mid-market private equity firms would utilize the internet to attract potential investors, because they are in need of an edge on the bigger PE firms.
