I recently joined an IT firm as a Consultant in Private Markets after 5+ years in Finance (Fin.Analyst, Wealth Associate, FoF Analyst) and as a CFA L3 candidate. Though I excelled in WM, I aim to return to Private Investments (PE/VC/Infra). This role allows me to work with private investment teams at a major pension fund, offering a 50% pay increase and project management exposure. But no direct investment experience.

Goal is to pivot into an associate role post-project.

Any advice on how to?
