For PE recruiting: more relevant experience at a T2 (diligences) or MBB but general experience?

Would likely depend on the fund but I’d think M&A due diligence would be a better path than MBB. PE is all about technical finance skills, which is more similar to deal due diligence than strategy consulting

Mbb, this coming from someone who was uncle D now on the buy side

MBB for sure

Exception is T2 gives you the opportunity to get hired by your PE clients, which you won’t have interactions with as an MBB generalist

Diligences give you better, more relevant experience. MBB has better brand name obviously and will be more helpful in getting interviews and landing a role. MBB diligences is best

Hi fishes,
How many of you have an MBA in HR. And how important an MBA in HR is to excel in the field of HR. Because I'm pretty mba in Marketing isn't that important to get you a Marketing job.

Is there a recommended path here? Long one, finished in the comments.

So I make around 35% below market for my titled role. My employer used “startup” as the reason when I was hired, but they’ve finally stopped using that excuse. I was fine with it, because I was promised a promotion within 12 months due to scope change. I’ve now been promoted twice, but in responsibility only. My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments

Hi all,
I'm graduating this fall with a B.A. in political science. I take the LSAT Nov. 12th and have a mentor helping me to apply to law school for the Fall 2022 cycle. If it matters my GPA is a 3.5 (possibly 3.6). I'm quickly realizing that I need a job in the meantime (starting January). I'm based in Boston and New York but if the position is lucrative enough I'm willing to relocate. Any high paying but temporary roles that anyone would reccomend?

3. Compensation is the issue... As initially we were getting 8 to 12% hike every year now since past 5 years reduced to 4-8%...
4. Now for lateral they are offering good... If you really wanna join I definitely recommend if YOE is 8+
