I’m trying to lateral from my current PE firm. We haven’t closed a platform investment in a long time (in years and not due to lack of capital) and long term opportunities don’t look good. I’m thinking that the move might be to target a new PE firm or a firm that recently raised a fund. What are good sources to keep track of new fund raises and firm launches?

Pitchbook is solid as well as PE Insights but if you haven’t closed a deal in years you’re going to have a hard time. Be ready to explain the deals you got close to doing any why they fell through / what you’d do different

Says the PwC guy…. , lots of firms struggled with new platforms in the last 2-3 years especially in the LMM. You should be able to lateral. Focus on your ability to drive workstreams, control processes, and understanding of what makes a good investment. However, it’s probably best if you can get a title up in the current fund to make your case stronger

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about. This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation). Is there a significant difference in total comp potential between ops and investments roles? Not sure how to make a case to break into investments with minimal DD experience, so thinking about Ops recruitment (Associate). Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.
