If I’m interested in transitioning into PE am I being stupid to pass up PE opportunities that recruiters pass my way because I don’t love the industry focus of the firm?

Hi! This is not 100% salary-related, but your feedback would be helpful. I was contacted by a recruiter from Pyramid Consulting Inc for a HRG position, although the agreement to represent and job posting both say HRBP2. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience working as a contractor with Pyramid. A few hours after they contacted me, I received a communication from a very similar company, Akraya, Inc., for the same exact position. I just want to make sure Pyramid is a reputable company.

Got an offer to work at a boutique PE fund as an intern for the next few months. The role is however unpaid and the fund is new.

For some background, I’m going to be starting at a T-2 firm doing CDD for PE funds in January. Wondering if getting this kind of experience looks good when I apply to analyst roles 1-2 years out? Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

The PE culture is sick. The 20 something VP was rude to our partner because our team took thanksgiving and the day before off and it was in the engagement letter that we were gonna be off. He kept emphasizing that his team did our job while we were on a break. Dude we are not sick like you and we have lives. I see something about how s**t the PE culture is in every deal we support.

Like these sickos make fun of us for working 80+ hours weeks for them and taking thanksgiving off.
