Analyst at a real estate PE firm. On the deal side... transitioned into this role from consulting because I am very passionate about real estate HOWEVER, consulting seemed to have a much better career trajectory and oppts than REPE? I can get promoted for 1-2 yrs but feeling like after that not sure what happens next? Any thoughts on what a career trajectory would look like? Thanks.

It’s fairly lock-step unless you’re at a small firm. Few years as an Analyst> same for associate Associate>VP/Principal can be terminal for some folks > then either MD or another director/SVP level as a step in between until MD. Depends on org structure. Work becomes less about models and more about sourcing deals/opps & negotiations. Comp is highly predicated on AUM

YOE so far? That’ll help

If you’re at a smaller GP, promotions might not be as predictable. But if you’re at a midsize to large LP, you should be getting promoted every 2 years.

It’s easy to be promoted from analyst to associate. But transitioning from associate to VP is harder because this is usually when you have to start sourcing. You’re not judged on your modeling skills anymore, but rather on your relationship building and deal/people management.

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?
