Best non-investing role at a PE firm?
Looking for career advice!
Im a new starter in FDD as a Senior, qualified and am sitting for CFA L2. I want to make sure I'm doing everything right to maximise my chances of landing a FO role in a PE/Fund or ER/M&A role at an BB/EB.
A few I've heard so far:
- Get infra deals exp
- Network aggressively
- Leave within 1 yr
JPMorgan Chase Morgan Stanley Goldman Sachs Citi Bank of America Barclays Credit Suisse RBC KKR Blackstone TPG Apollo Global Management, LLC Bain Capital Warburg Pincus
Need some advice here.I am a fullstack developer with 5 yoe in Angular and Python.My aim is to crack FAANG companies.Now I got an offer from HSBC in a credit risk model monitoring role using Python.It is close to a data engineer role.
My question is that will it be a good idea to shift from development role to a model monitoring role if I want to move to FAANG in the future even for an ML role?Or does FAANG not prefer people who are not in core development roles?Amazon Google Microsoft Adobe Citi Barclays Bank of America

Not sure about others but OW EM pay is pretty comparable to MBB post-MBA (maybe 10-15k diff) so in that case I'd go with MBB. Sure you'll be set back 2 years until you get to manage people but it's extra runway to hit partner windows (if that's your goal) while being paid fairly well. Source: roommate is EM at OW.
OW1, I was at the firm before, but don’t want to be a partner. Probably would stay 2-4 years. My biggest fear is sitting in the MBB consultant role regretting that I could’ve been managing teams instead of going back a step to individual contributor
What’s your experience? Are you ready to be a manager already? I would say the more confident you are in your ability to get promoted the more you should consider MBB. You can’t go wrong though. Also depends on the type of work you want to do
4 years in consulting at this T2 firm, feel ready to manage but MBB offer has made it clear it’ll be 2 years before promoted to manager, even with my prior experience managing small teams at my firm

Honestly, at Bain you start managing people fairly quickly. I had 2 direct reports 6 months into my post mba role
It is at Mck
Honestly, managing people can be a pain in the ass and lateral moves can be more difficult.
M1 said it, you’ll get there eventually, don’t have to be in a hurry.
It’s pretty hard to succeed coming in as an M at LEK (unless your 4 years were already at LEK). Ms manage the delivery of two projects, not just managing team member output. Pay is pretty sweet though since you get some rev share on top of profit share.

Let me also say that as someone who manages teams, lengthen the amount of time you are not a manager as long as possible. I miss being an individual contributor
