For those in private equity, could you please share some advice? Is having a Big 4 career on your resume really important for succeeding in the PE field? I currently have 2 years of PE experience and am weighing the option to move to a Big 4 firm or stay in PE. Also, is having a CPA an additional plus for a PE Fund Accountant role?

If you’re going into a Big 4’s PE Advisory/Admin service line I’d say it’s going to help you get further along when you eventually return to an in-house role. That said, people make fund controller without it as well, but the best way to get lucky is to make luck. The rub with PE Accounting in-house is it always seems like a dead man’s shoes situation.
