If you want to maximize your odds of a PE offer, IB at any reputable bank is a better bet than consulting. You just need to look at most PE funds team pages and see where everyone came from to see IB is the highest percentage play here.

Only caveat is that if “IB” really means financial advisory at a smaller firm without name recognition, maybe Bain PEG could do more for you. But if it’s traditional IB, no question.

IB. You can certainly do PEG -> PE (I did it from McKinsey) but if you’re a finance hardo, do the traditional route.

Nobody asks this who has the option of IB

IB if it’s M&A and not DCM, ECM, etc.

Depends what bank. Bulge bracket and elite boutique is the best for PE, but Bain wins out over middle market in many cases

I have now been asked to design an architecture for an upcoming project, and document it all. Nothing at this company has been well documented before. I have a feeling they just planning to use my previous experience and then let me go since my pay is high. Is there a way I can safeguard against this?

My current experience is 7.2 yoe.. joined accenture, feb 2021. My current fixed is 14.7LPA.. level is 10.. is my pay per current Accenture Standards.. im waiting for my promotion since 6mnths.. however, my manager is managing to push it as much as possible with Lame excuses..

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!
