Any one make a move from fund admin after big 4 assurance and then was able to make a pivot to a PE fund accounting team? I am considering moving to a fund admin now. Have 9+ years of big four experience. Worried that I can get stuck in fund admin. But I have interviewed at several big name pe shops and make a few rounds on interviews but then get the same feedback that they are worried about my lack of operational experience.

I don’t have that experience to tell you first hand but I know we have hired into our fund accounting team from various fund admins so it’s not unlikely. But I am not part of that team so can’t say exactly what type of experience those people had.
