It’ll be hard/damn near impossible to go from client services to PE and the CFA won’t get you it’s worthless in PE). PE firms are looking for associates with deal experience. My suggestion is to go for some type of investment strategy role. You’re in Boston, look at Wellington’s investment specialists roles, they’re growing their alts platform so there’s opportunity there.

Seconded. Another vanilla route would be to get into a target MBA > IB > PE

I started my career at Vanguard and then a boutique financial services company before moving to a private fund. Managing and analyzing businesses requires a lot more accounting and financial modeling skills than what you might see in wealth management, those would be good skills to develop.

If you were me, would you go to a competitor just to stick it to people here? Or mail it in, shoot for a NEP/counsel-type gig, collect paychecks, and coast?
