Leaving after one year to another biglaw firm?
I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

Agreed and especially as exits via IPOs become less common due uncertainty in the public markets, continuation vehicles should be an interesting play for GPs
Can’t speak on GP Stakes as a career, but I personally don’t think it’s a great strategy long term. Free money, but bad alignment with the underlying GP and their investors.
Secondaries is a great & growing market. It’s only grown and become more and more adopted. Definitely a niche thing to get into (less so than GP Stakes), but by no means limiting for your career. It’s good transactional & underwriting experience and will be around as long as PE continues to exist and LPs need to rebalance their portfolios.
GP stakes is definitely pretty saturated. IMHO most of the good deals have been done and this is why Dyal has begun pursuing other strategies (debt based funds, NBA, etc.)
A lot of misinformed opinions here. Market is in its very early days and is growing incredibly fast as sponsors (especially in the middle market) see the value of selling stakes. Funds are mostly structured as perpetual capital vehicles and while there are many ways to exit investments (continuation funds will be a big one) that’s not necessarily needed. Alignment is fundamental to the strategy as the firms literally sit side by side economically with underlying GPs. Returns are higher and more consistent than secondaries or fund of funds.
