I mean, anything is possible. As long as you can prove your operational and due diligence chops, have an aptitude for creating models, and can think strategically, I don’t see why not. There are few people in leadership that immediately discount a candidate purely because of stereotypes of the firm they come from. OW is a great firm. If you do exceptionally well and network well in PE, I don’t see why you wouldn’t. It’d be easier though if you went from OW to IB and then to PE.

Ex-OW here. In short: not good. OW is a great firm- loved it, however there are better options out there- PE is an uphill battle for sure for OWers.

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?
