Hi Londoners,
I’m an Operations Associate at PE firm in New York. I’m moving to London this year, my wife lives there. I’ve got a gig at PE consulting firm in London, I’d love your thoughts on my transition.

1. Should I take up the boutique PE consulting role, given that my long term goal is to work on the buy-side?
2. Is it relatively easy to do this transition once in London?

Pay’s decent, almost a lateral move, very happy about that.

Thank you

Take it! I think that a decent spell in a consulting firm will set you well for a career in buy side. One caveat - is think uk firms are more sensitive to high frequency jobs switches so you will need to think 2-3 years as the minimum

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
