PE to HF - harder than it seems?
Hi, I need a referral for an internship
in Financial Advisory Team
Valuation, M&A, FDD, or Financial
Consulting - at Big 4 in Germany,
can anyone help me?
I did my bachelor's degree at the
University of Mannheim.
I would appreciate any kind of
support and advice.
I'm not above reaching out to alumni
directly via Linkedln, but l'd prefer to
bug as few as possible. So if you
want to help, guide, or mentor,
please pm me.

I made the move and don't regret it at all. Only reason IMO to not move is if you see yourself more as an advisor vs an operator.
Don't you mean as an advisor rather than an investor?
What MBB practices can lead to a PE ops exit? Generalist work or PE work specifically?My understanding is that a lot of the PE work would be DDs so not sure how much that translates to an operational role
Left McK Implementation for PE ops. Was a perfect fit with only upsides. Leading large scale transformations and having several specific functional spikes makes the transition setup for success.
Thanks everyone, huge help!!
What's the all in comp at the pe fund?
I'm overall happy I made the switch
At my fund we get same base/bonus/carry as deal team and are involved in the deal process. However it is more intense than other ops roles
Pros
Much more interesting work
People are great
Comp smokes mbb
Better exit ops
Cons
More intense lifestyle
Did you use headhunters to make the move? Any recommendations
Does PE Ops provides location flexibility like MBB? I’m with McK and I can basically move to anywhere within the US without impacting my progression. I travel 30-50%.
I don’t even know what I would do in an office 2-3 days per week. Most of my portcos aren’t in a city where we have an office and my deal team members are split across 3 different cities.
