I did no DDs and am at umm now. In general I think doing non DD work is valuable regardless of fund type you are targeting. Doing strategy and ops work helps you think about the business from a different perspective. Also gives you a chance to interact with clients in a different way which is an opportunity to develop a skill many of your colleagues who came from banking won’t have had.
I don’t think it can hurt - why not know how to speak the language / understand the whole picture? A deal can work in excel but the value isn’t created unless it works out irl. That’s just my opinion as a consultant who (gasp) actually wants to exit to the operating side of PE.
Yes your first ODD will be far more valuable than your 20th CDD
Sign up for the rotation ;)
It’s pretty self explanatory? Diminishing marginal returns of completing the same type of project over and over. Might as well get exposure to something new and relevant (albeit somewhat less relevant than CDD)
I appreciate all the responses, and I'm glad I asked!
