For various “life reasons”, I’ve taken a few wrong turns on my career path, and my book, which was once great, is now irrelevant, “studenty”, and no longer represents my abilities accurately. Have any of you ever completely scrapped your book and started over with all new spec work? Any advice?

That is a tough place to be. Is none of your produced work salvageable?

Yes, that's true, but if you can tweak the produced work to be at that level you'd have a stronger book. An all-spec book is likely to lead to more low-level positions, which is better than nothing, just be aware.

Hi All! I recently started my own Private Equity firm. Searching for any big do’s, dont’s, or hard lessons you learned along the way. Do any veteran entrepreneurs/PE partners or staff members have advice they would like to pass down? I know early on in my consulting career there are many things I wish I could go back and tell myself.

As always, thank you all! 🐟
