Why Join Us?
We have a no secrets environment with most of our operations; you will learn almost every aspect of what it would be like to work in a Private Equity Firm.

All of this to say,
1. If you are a stellar performer, we will hire you and work for us full time.
2. We operate in a no B.S environment. What we see, you can see. First Quantity and then work towards Quality.
3. We will let you go if you don't meet our expectations. Sorry, it's hard industry and mediocrity comes with a price.
4. Do not apply if you don't have grit and hustle. Opportunity Description is a guideline and not final.
5. The directors read every application. Using AI to write overly professionally or giant slop of text will get you disqualified.
6. Don't upload CV's, a short paragraph with your qualification + what you can help with is more than enough (no more than 10 lines). Please don't spam us on social media.
