Hey all, I keep being contacted by recruiters to jump to PE from management consulting. I have 7YOE in consulting and I have 0 experience in PE. For this very reason I don’t comprehend why I get chased lately. Any thoughts over here?

I think it's partly the talent war and also because lots of folks have made a similar transition from consulting to PE so it's not uncommon

There must be some reason they're targeting you. Why not explore what they've got to offer?

I will actually, very curious to know those reasons.

Are they recruiting you for investment role? Or opps role?

Mainly investment!

I had the same experience - i pressure tested this with the fund a bit (which they didnt like at all). I would not recommend doing that ;-)

I would just trust them that they want some new perspective to the team.

Ahah, ok I’ll explore the opportunities and see what they have to offer. We never know!

It happens all the time tbh. If you're not interested, just say so...but most people are trying to jump between the two so they just hedge their bets really

Ok, that makes sense! What would be a good reason to jump from one to the other?

What role within investment team are they considering you for? Associate, Senior Associate?

I might have more transferable skills that I think then 🤷‍♀️.

That’s what I had in mind as well, knowing that I have 7 YOE they would not offer a junior position 😁.

I recently (1+ yr ago) transitioned from consulting to industry. The hours are much better. Total comp is less than what I was making on the consulting side (-15% less). My schedule is much better, and I have a good routine outside of work. However, I don't feel accomplished at my current role and feel like I am not learning as much. I was hoping that I would make up for that comp difference in a year or two but upward mobility seems limited. Is it too soon to look for another job?

Currently in the US but interviewing for a UK-based firm and role. The comp level they are throwing around is £250k TC. Is this reasonable for a Director-level role with 12 YOE?

My comparator would be wait 18-24mo to become a consulting partner - in the US that starts at $450k/£325k.

For the purposes of this question, assume I’m optimizing for initial comp, not long term potential, and not livability, Intl experience, WLB, CoL etc.

Thanks!

I have been really contemplating leaving my company for quite sometime now.

What is stopping me from leaving is that I have established rapport within the company, access to senior leaders, and flights

So I boomeranged back to PwC after 2 years away and 2 layoffs. I took a role that I knew would be a soft landing and allow me to rebuild confidence even if it wasn’t my long term ambition. Successfully rebuilt confidence and was promoted to SM within a year. But now I’m not being challenged and have that ‘grass is greener’ feeling. I feel like a hard internal pivot is going to piss people off as much as if I left to a competitor. How do I play this ?
