The work-life balance sucked this year as everyone is forcing to go back to offices. I'm really contemplating on going freelance but I've not heard many freelancing Project Managers, is this rare?

Anybody out here know of any “development programs” for mid career professionals looking to transition to sales? Have a data/analytics b/g., but I’m much more social than a “typical” data/analytics person. We have a program at my company that I’m networking to get into, but believe it’s prudent to diversify options, as there is obviously no guarantee that they select me for the program.

Whats WLB like in PE ops?

From the outside, I always thought of PE firms to be well-oiled machines where everyone is working hard but with a clear purpose. Now starting at an LMM as a senior associate I feel kind of lost. It’s chaos - every person above me wants something else and there are constant discussions, bickering and politics being played. Is this representative of other (LMM?) PE firms, or did I get unlucky? It feels like a tech startup lol.

Will the current economic environment have more risk for PE, or upside (given opportunity for “cheap” deals)?

In private equity, how much money does each type of role at the firm make relative to one another? I know overall compensation varies with fund performance, I just wonder how the comp levels vary between the tech team, investor relations, the accounting team, the deal team, the portfolio monitoring team, the operations team etc. How does each team stack up against each other in pay? If you think of any other teams please feel free to include them.

How are Alvarez and Marsal 's exit opportunities into PE?

I am a M2 at B4 FDD and don’t know how long i’ll be genuinely interested in this work. Currently debating rotating into a B4 IB associate role for a year or two, then moving to PE. Is this a reasonable move? I know IB lifestyle will suck, but I don’t want to find myself in a spot where I dislike what I do in a few years and feel like moving to IB may increase my chances of landing a better gig in the future ( as opposed to sticking to FDD)
