Second class. Limited growth. If VP or Partner, maybe different story.

I personally would steer away from those roles. I just see limited growth opportunities and exits.

What are the types of PE exits that everyone seems to be gunning for? Very new to this space, since I assumed PE firms only looked at MBB consultants

Typical PE exit we talk about is investment role, not ops - a partner track at PE with more pay and carry. Hard to break in since IB exp strongly preferred hence mostly MBB
