I am a current PE associate who was placed by CPI in 2021. I want to lateral to another PE firm but soooo many PE firms use CPI as their headhunter. CPI is contractually prohibited from sending me lateral opportunities because my firm is a CPI client (and CPI would lose their commission if I left before my 1 year was up). How do I apply for associate roles at CPI clients (which most PE firms are) given this?

What’s CPI?

funnylike

In this economy, when I see CPI, I only see “consumer price index”

CPI is only one of many firms….why not approach the others? Amity, Bellcast etc.

You are basically saying you got hired via Spencer Stuart (corporate search), but there’s Korn Ferry, Heidrick, Egon, etc.

Accenture1 - correct. My point was just an analogy to share that CPI isn’t the be all and end all

Network directly with people at the firms you’re interested in

CPI definitely doesn’t have the most desirable PE firms on their roster (but def up there)

Nearly for 5 years in Non-IT: I have performed well

2 months in IT: Struggling to swim in this IT service Ocean, especially feeling it difficult due to personal pressures. I feel dumb, passively procrastinating due to the lack of clarity over tasks. Manager/colleagues pose as cooperative yet demanding at the same time.

I've been complaining a lot, had a word with RM at TechM, and my managers at client side. Hinted that I'm struggling to cope up. I feel very sceptical about my future.Need help

Have the opportunity to join a startup consultancy as a Product Manager and move away from the big 4.

Going to be employee 15 as opposed to an org with ~650K employees.

Same pay. A LOT of growth opportunity. Less overall benefits, but I think the experience will net me out to be a Director in just a year or two within the org, and a lot of potential to move out from there.

I'm slightly terrified, but the team feels awesome, and they have some big clients.

What would you do?
