Desperate to leave my bank but sort of a non traditional candidate in a levfin role. I want to work in growth equity ideally but competition is tough and not getting much traction with the top head hunters for those roles. Would it make sense for me to work at a growth equity backed startup in a strategic finance role?

Only you can answer this for yourself in terms of what you’re interested in / what you think will be good for your well-being and career in the long run. Some of my friends in levfin have successfully recruited for PE - am curious to hear what makes you think you are a non-traditional candidate?

Anyone here understand lease jargon?

Signed a lease in Feb & got a great deal in a new rent stabilized apt (not sure how, but somehow stabilized in a newer building).

I’ve looked over my lease recently for something & noticed there’s a rider stating preferential rent is only for the term of the lease & then can be increased to the legal regulated rent. In 2019 I thought the law changed so that all renewals needed to be based off preferential rent & could only be raised with new tenants?
