Currently VP (post-MBA) at AlixPartners and interested in PE ops in 3-5 years.

1) How to go about getting traction? Eg which practices should I be associated with (eg PE, TMT); which functional specializations (eg M&A, org transformation, ops)?
2) Which types of funds should I target and how to get noticed by those? I’m trending towards mega funds (eg Blackstone, KKR, Bain, Silver Lake) as I’d expect better comp, steadier demand for my work and more exciting assignments (large cap companies)

Hi all! I picked up a part time job as “computer support” a few months ago and have since found myself doing a lot more than anticipated. I handle installation and maintenance of Burglar systems, access control, video surveillance, network systems, POS workstations, VoIP, and payment terminals. I took the job with no “formal” education in tech. My “trainer” at the company was a joke, I basically taught myself everything. What do you think would be a reasonable hourly pay for such a person?

Applied to a job and was referred. My referral let me know ~5 days after I applied that they received an email that my application was passed to the hiring team.

Within norms this is moving slow? Should I expect to receive an email saying they passed?
