How mature is the PE industry in emerging markets (SEA, Africa, Latin America, etc). Just limited to mega funds or could one break in without IB experience? Based in US currently

Very limited in Sub-Saharan Africa. There are some big funds such as Helios, Emerging Capital Partners, and breakaways from Carlyle, KKR etc. Have tried this route myself (with substantial African experience) but the offices are primarily in Europe (or on the continent) and hard to gain traction.

Thanks for the detailed response!!

More GE and less PE (LBO). You can likely break in with:
1) Non IB background but at least MBB
2) Some ties and knowledge to market (grew up in Brazil, know Vietnamese, family connected in Thailand)

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
