Global Private Equity Syndrome


When I used to work for a consultancy firm, I came out with the TOP 10 identifiers for consultants. Today, as an investment banker (private equity professional to put it more precisely) - we have another TOP 10 identifiers:

  1. Prematurely grey hair
  2. Inability to remember city or country in which one is awakening
  3. Persistent daze / jet lag / hoarse throat
  4. Equating sleep on an airplane with real sleep
  5. Inabilities to remember (or be present at) birthdays, anniversaries, or school conferences
  6. Contact with new friends concerned about holding charitable dinners in your honour or naming school buildings for you
  7. Frequent musings about the fairness of pre-nuptial agreements
  8. Doubling of golf handicap every 6 months
  9. Ability to schedule annual physical only every five years
  10. Frequent spousal / child discussions about the value of sound estate planning

As always

PS> I reposted this one, because DealBreaker.com loved it so much… however, I believe credit goes to Abraaj Capital’s CEO.
