By PE, are you eyeing local-centric boutique firms like Quantedge and GGV or multinationals like Blackstone? The former is undergoing a hiring freeze atm and possible downsizing that results in analysts fronting many hats.
With your experience, you’ll be entering as a fresh MBA associate which would mean a drastic pay cut considering you spent some time in MBB. Unfortunately, consultants doing a lateral jump to finance won’t be comp’d generously unlike someone in the STEM field. |
I'm open to international as well as local firms, as long as the track record is strong and I like the team. In addition to the megafunds, places like General Atlantic, Affinity Equity Partners, Navis Capital come to mind. I had not come across the ones you mentioned - Quantedge looks more like a hedge fund and GGV looks like a VC fund
I suppose the question is will I be able to get one of these roles as is or will the LBS MBA give me an advantage (even if only a slight advantage)
