Past 3-4 it’s really tough for investment deal roles

like

At application. Also, if you accept an off cycle offer (which consultants generally have better shots at) you’d start closer to when you actually get the offer.

In London even Senior Partner has exited from Bain to PE to act as a lead of Value Creation, so I guess never too late

For ops, this is correct. For investment, it gets harder and harder the later you wait.

I have an MD who spent over 10 years in consulting, but he was also a turnaround guy and routed through a distressed fund before coming to regular way PE

Probably “never” for Ops team, much harder for deal team but I have seen people join at the Manager level and even Partner level even though it is much more common to join as Associate as you already know

Never for ops. 5-8 years out of undergrad for deal team.

Please feel free to report to HR if you com across any discriminatory behavior. Anyone has any more similar ideas what other topics we can add?

I’m curious about the enlisted versus officer ratio as well...here’s a way to better survey the group. “Like” your respective group below.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

So I've been applying for jobs with various brands who are owned by the same parent company. They are all separate brands but owned by the same company. All my applications are under one login with the parent company's website. My question is, can HR and recruiters from the different brands see all my open applications (including those with the other brands) or just the ones that concern the brand they work for?
