PE exits aren’t that great out of the investing world tbh

With that being said, my PE firm has essentially 100% hbs / gsb placement and some of the port co exits are easier to swing. Overall though, The exit opps aren’t spectacular for someone who wants to leave the investing world

Associates at my firm have gone on to career track roles but also have joined our port cos or start ups at a similar stage

Depends how small a fund you are talking about. I'm at a fund with $1B, past pre-MBAs have gone to hedge fund, search fund, m7, operating roles at porthos, other PE funds. One of the VPs here framed it as, "at this point the resume padding is over, you can go do whatever you want, so you need to feel out what you want to do."

Curious what people say as a person about done with my associate stint in growth equity. My previous coworkers have mostly exited to other career track PE/VC roles or Corp dev/fpa-type roles.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Hey Fishes,

I lied about my relevant experience with TCS HR in order to get a bit more package , my actual relevant experience is 3.6 whereas I told 4.6 yrs..

1 year exp. which is irrelevant for the role I'm being hired for.. I made my mind bcoz this 1 yr irrelevant experience is also from IT company only, so in BGV TCS HR conducts enquiry if I had I just worked there or not right?? , I'm assuming they'll not enquire my roles & responsibility, previous tech stack that I was working on..
