At the post-MBA/VP level, how common or easy is it to transition into a strategy / leadership / P&L role in industry? If I do post-MBA PE, it that going to determine the rest of my career or are those options still open? Realize PE is a great career, but just trying to understand.

You prob know way more than I do but I’ve spoke to one person in my network who post mba PE went to a portco and eventually became CFO.

Alternatively, if your fund has a specific industry slant, couldn’t you target companies within that sector? Your experience is prob invaluable to them, don’t see how it would be a problem getting into any of the roles you mentioned. But then again I’m still an analyst so what do I know

You can transfer to PortCo in finance role (FP&A, CFO or even strategy) or move into F500 in more Corp Dev role (due to deal experience).
