I am looking to potentially break into PE as an associate at a small market firm. I realize this isn’t traditional but has anyone gone from finance into PE and would be willing to chat about it? I have 6 years of finance experience and maintain my CPA license. I’ve done corporate finance and also supported ops and S&M. I have a blend of experience (op model, budgeting/forecasting, integration, etc).
