Any 🐠 move over to a PE role from consulting but at a more senior level? Like VP? Saw a few examples of folks at newer funds but the story is always short like “that guy was a rockstar.”. Curious to hear of anybody doing this and how they moved.

Happens on ops but not really for investment role. VPs and above are quarterbacking and sourcing deals. Wouldn’t make sense to grab someone without deal experience to share carry with

OP - are you talking investment team? Or Ops team?

Not impossible, but not a typical path. The most likely path is undergrad, MBB entry level for 2 years and then join PE as part of 2 year Associate program (at a firm that values and hires consultants). Otherwise, it’s somewhat of a crapshoot and situational dependent.

I’m in the process with a fund to move over at a senior level. It’s for an investing role. The fund itself is fairly large with a few $B AUM.

I’m high performing at McK but wouldn’t consider myself a “rockstar”, as you stated. Three things to highlight:
1) the fund is operationally focused
2) I do a lot of work in the space the fund invests in
3) although this was years ago, I was an IB analyst (at a brand name bank) out of undergrad so pretty familiar with transactions

Yes, senior Ops people get carry

I left MBB and helped co-found a PE firm. Fundraised and everything. Pretty good experience. I was just pretty dissatisfied with all the “second class citizen” dynamics I saw for the portco ops roles that HHs normally put out.

Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
