Wlb will be better but you’ll be heavily pigeon holed.

If your goal is to stay in the PE industry long term, it is a fabulous jump. You will make more, have better wlb, and much, much better benefits

Depends on the company and the fund. I’ve seen funds that are very complicated and because of that you grind pretty hard each and everyday. Not to mention bigger funds have operation teams and you are essentially their support team, they would email you to do all kinds of ad hocs and etc. So you can be an associate or VP or even SVP and taking orders from an analyst on the operations team.

Anyone with psychologist partners or friends? Trying to help my wife figure out next steps in her career.

Trying to figure out if she could: drop insurance and charge more, scale out and build her own practice, and/or work more (could maybe see 26-28 ppl/week). Curious if anyone can share thoughts or brain power!
