A lot of people are, yeah. It's super firm dependent. I went consulting -> PE -> startup -> HSW and am very much entertaining the impact fund career route, but there's a few considerations in play:

(1) Is it a market return fund, concessionary fund, or something in-between?
(2) What sector are you looking at? Do you want to be a generalist fund or a sector-specific fund?
(3) What types of people do your target funds hire? Some put a huge premium on prior investing experience, others more interested in operating experience

Depending on how "brand name" the firm is (e.g., TPG Rise, Emerson Collective, etc.), there might be some more sensitivity towards hiring HSW / former investor types... others may not care as much. So definitely network and do your diligence

When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif

Additional Posts in MBA Applicants

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
