Best PE firms in Chicago?

Hi Fishes,

Need your suggestion. I have given an interview in EXL for Senior Business Analyst role and been shortlisted. Could you all please suggest how much should I expect and ask.

YOE :- 4 Years and 9 Months
Skills :- SQL, Power BI, Tableau
CCTC :- 5.25 lakh

Nyc based. Is it at all possible to make at least 200 base in corp dev or strategy at a tech company? Super burned out but don’t want to take a paycut in base. I realize I’ll never make all in comp the same in tech but if I can match base I’d be content.

Anyone stay in Indiranagar ? Need guidance.

I have an interview with JP Morgan this week for a Channel Marketing Manager - VP role in the Asset Management area. The role will be based in NYC. Just curious what is the normal range for the base salary and total comp.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.

Does anyone know the salary of a beginner para planner at Ameriprise or any other broker-dealer?

Is Nokia calling people to the office or people can still work from home?

Best consulting companies in the social sector?

3 questions for fish with CFA designation.

1. Was it worth your time?
2. Do you feel it has helped you in your current/past work?
3. Do you feel clients value you more having this on your resume? (If so, is this sector specific? E.g Financial services clients)

Just had an interview with Netflix and at some point I mentioned “GAFA” (even joking that it’s probably GAMA now) and completely forgot they’re in FAANG 😬

Will this be one of those moments I remember when going to bed for the rest of my life? Yes.

Ever since the Ukrainian invasion, I can't sleep well. Anyone else feeling this way?

Does anybody work for Evolent / New Century Health? How is the culture? Any known layoffs?

Looking at investing in FedEx and GameStop. Check out Forward PE and PEG, good earnings growth and operating cash flow. Thoughts?

What is the salary range for KPMG SA in Financial Management for MC in DC? I can’t seem to find the range for State and Local Advisory. Thank you in advance.

What does transitioning from entrepreneurship > top VC fund look like? Seems like they usually come in at the partner level, but what kind of background would they need? Would say a 7-figure exit mean much? Low 8-figure?

What was your final round interview like? Have two coming up with two MD’s at the same firm and trying to be easy breezy about it.

Anyone have examples of companies started by ex-VC investors (Associate-VP level)

Currently in ibanking as an associate and want to see if I can make the move to PE. Is the CAIA viewed favorably at all?

I’m currently doing portfolio opps at a solid UMM shop, but exploring making a change (potentially to a bigger firm where there’s more career progression). I was recruited to my current role, and am wondering how others in portfolio opps are finding new opportunities. It seems like most of them recruit vs. post jobs. Any insights are appreciated!

Pre-MBA at MBB — Have worked on a few DDs but have not touched the model workstream yet. Any advice on how I can best discuss my “deal” experience in PE interviews despite that? Thanks in advance!

I’m a PE ops VP at a larger fund. Currently making $350k cash comp with about $1M carry at work per fund. Realistically, what would I be looking at in terms of cash/carry comp increase if I were to be promoted up one level (one below partner).

I have my first PE interview for an associate role coming up. Can anyone provide some guidance on what to expect?

How much do people make on average in VC after 2-3 years out of undergrad in MBB/IB?

Are PE investing role WLB and Stress that much worse than MBB?

How long do pe ops jobs usually take to get back to you in final stages? If it’s been a week am I done?

Anyone know anything about Greycroft for an associate VC role?

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

Anyone know the best way to find out about business development roles in PE (I.e. sourcing). Sick of the investing side and think BD would be a good fit

Is it wrong that I’m just not into PE/VC? It seems to be the most desirable exit for most people that I work with. The work seems like it’s not a good fit for me but it feels crazy to pass up trying to get that amount of money when there really isn’t a realistic alternative to that amount of wealth (and I do want that amount of wealth).

New associate coming in. Does anyone know if deal flow is slower before Christmas/New Years or after?

Former consultants who moved to PE, how and when did you decide you wanted to make the transition vs continuing to do DDs/PE work from the consulting side?

Are funds willing to negotiate offices? I’m planning to interview with US funds for a 2023 start but may need to move to London for personal reasons - is this something funds are open to?

Anyone wondering what digitization and disruption of banking and lender relationships will look like? If at some point regulation allows customers to borrow directly from central banks, then will banks and buy side direct lending shops die out ?
