Look into startups in that space or some adjacent like IIoT.
Then look at whose funding or has that in their line of sight.

Not all grad degrees are the same…

Associate 1 is right. Most straightforward path to PE/VC is an MBA at a top program (assuming you’re not already coming from a top university for undergrad).

Hello, thank you for sharing your question. Transitioning from data analytics and environmental consulting into PE/VC is definitely possible, especially with your background in geospatial data and energy. Your experience already aligns well with sectors like climate tech, energy investments, and infrastructure. To make the shift, focus on building financial knowledge (valuation, modeling, market analysis) and start positioning your experience around investment insights, how your data work supports decision-making, risk analysis, or opportunity identification.

When I was figuring out how to reposition my background for a different career path, the team at alfredpetersonhiringteam/gmail/com helped me refine how I presented my experience and approach opportunities, which made a real difference and helped me secure my role as a Human Resources professional.

It’s a shift, but a very achievable one, stay focused, keep building the right skills, and you’ll break into the space.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
