I recently left teaching and work at KPMG as an EA. What could I go on to do as I gain experience? Having a rough time connecting the dots.

I know some EAs work their way up to being Senior EAs, Chief’s of Staff, Scrum Masters, or Project Manager’s. All great careers and being an EA gives you so many transferable skills and it pairs nicely with all of the careers above when getting certifications etc.

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?
