After a few years in equity research, am curious on potential non-buy side exit ops. Am more focused on growing my skill sets in strategy, corp finance, etc and am particularly interested in start-ups and high growth companies where you can really take ownership of your role - has anyone gone through a similar transition and/or have any suggestions on where to start?

Went from ER to VC / growth equity. ER prepares you for a variety of roles. Vastly underestimated job. What’s your level of experience if you don’t mind me asking ?

You’d most likely have to start as an associate at a GE shop, if it is tier 1. Don’t wait to long to try and switch if you are reaching VP now.

Do exit opportunities change if you’re covering a highly specialized sector (biotech/Pharma/life science diagnostics)? Do you have any advice for someone without a PhD/MD in this sector?

But harder to go to a generalist shop is what I mean

I work in an org where am not valued. I have been there for a couple of years. I bring good exp and qualification on board, but my experience in this org has smeared my self esteem and has discouraged me from putting in my all. I am traumatized from this exp and I have lost confidence in myself. I sometimes remember how I have been treated or spoken to and I literally tremble. Other things I do outside of my org are top notch and I get compliments. I need advice on rebranding or moving forward.
