Are there any real benefits of working for a PE-backed business? It's always highlighted as a plus in job listings but I'm not really sure how it's a significant benefit

The business was viable enough for a picky PE fund to deploy capital? That’s one good indicator

Also the financial security of the company is basically guaranteed

Yeah I agree, I don't see the benefits personally

If you’re an exec, the comp will be much higher

Because if you can make it in PE, you can make it in any sector.

Generally no. More pressure on reporting and delivering every Q, much higher focus on costs. If you’re an exit and the deal goes well, you will have a good liquidity event

I’m 22 years old still living with my parents with minimal expenses. I make $65k, maxed out my 401k, have no debt, $30k in an HYSA, and $13k in a brokerage account. When I move out in 6 months or so, I estimate I’ll need $12k in an emergency fund. Should I put everything except that in my brokerage account? I hate that I have so much in the so called “high yield” account only making 0.45%
