25. At MBB. Thought I wanted PE but I’m thinking FAANG PM type role might be better now. Ultimately I’d like to start my own business. Where are people who join PE 4-5 years down the line vs those who join FAANG?

Assuming you are post-MBA and dont have previous IB/PE experience, the likely PE exit is portfolio ops.

Gameplan for PE Ops is usually to do 2-3 years and grab a VP/SVP of Transformation role or similar level in a sales/product/strategy function for a VC/PE backed start-up or PE portfilio company.

Specs ive seen on some of those exit roles are like $250-350K cash but $2-3M equity kicker if company makes it to profitable exit in 3-5 years.

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager. They like “home grown” talent and I “be worked hard and risen relatively quickly (AGC in 9 years). I work hard and get a lot of complicated deals done (structured products and private funds).

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable.

I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

I've found ChatGPT mildly interesting... until a manager shared an experiment he did last week.

He posed the same questions to ChatGPT. He shuffled all the responses and asked a number of us to spot the AI answer. NOBODY picked correctly.
