25yo, recently have interviewed with an asset manager, JH to be exact, for a project management assistance role. While I do desire to work for this company, longer term I want to make a transit and jump into tech focused PE fund. Anyone has thoughts on the how this jump would be looked at by recruiters, what transferable skills would be practically applicable and would this transition makes sense in your eyes ?

I think project management overall is transferable skill - it’s great experience. I wouldn’t use the word jump, but that it’s part of your career plan. There’s nothing wrong with starting somewhere and learning that. Later you can focus on what is required for Tech in PE, and see how your skills can be applied. I started at 26, and ended up doing something and working in a role that was not part of my original career plan, and I’m glad i went this route. Good luck in your new role.
