Hey fellow vets,

In my second year post-MBA at a strategy focused firm (DD and strategic road mapping; we do up to post-merger integration but very little straight ops work) and starting to look at exit opps.

I would like to get P&L responsibility as soon as I can, but not sure what the right exit is for that. Should I be focusing on corporate strategy at medium to large orgs that can parlay into GM, or look at something else? Ultimately I want to be an operating partner in PE or C-suite

Why not target a PE ops teams role then?

I’ve given thought to it but haven’t seen the prevalence of it in typical job searches or through exec recruiters. Since that’s been the case I have felt perhaps it’s not the best fit
