No you are not. I would never hire someone who took a human capital role as their first or second job out of college.
I'm HC and I have only been on S&O projects been with the firm 2 years
I've seen / done really impactful HC work - largely as bolt-on work to tech, but one S&O as well. You get to a lot of the same skill sets as S&O from what I've heard from friends and the angle we take humanizes the work we do
P1- why is that? I'm S&O, but always thought that HC seemed fun.
D2 the perception in broader industry is that HC is the same as HR. I may be wrong, but I think people with technical skills like excel, or derivatives expertise in finance, or computer science skills are valued more. That being said I know someone at D who switched from M&a to HC b/c lifestyle is much better.
P1- thanks so much! Sounds like S&O is prob still better for me. I wonder if tech could ever be an option if I am not a Tech person. I never considered it until just now.
I like it a lot... in my experience (3 years out of college) there seems to be a lot of flexibility, travel is not all the time (which is good for many people), the pay is competitive, and the work is interesting. Depending on the projects and firm you're at, it can be very different, as with anything I suppose.
