Hey everyone! Questions for you guys.
I am currently an Analyst MO at Apollo but always wanted to transition into a FO role. My current role gives me the opportunity to move up to associate but unsure if I should go with it or keep focusing on FO opportunities only. If yes, what other firms do you recommend targeting? Thank you!!

Smaller firms than Apollo, search for the analysts prior to you on LinkedIn and see where they went, target similar companies.

Thanks for the insight. Will definitely keep that in mind.

It sounds like you want to move into FO. So why stay back and trap yourself on a career path you aren't into? Especially when you merely have the "opportunity" to move up - that's not set in stone.

Completely agree. I guess the challenging part of lending a FO role is also not helping. Thank you!

Grateful for all advice.
