I'm a Management Consultant without transaction experience. I have recently helped set up a Billion dollar fund - from Target Operating Model to Due Dil framework and team setup. This was one of my consulting projects.
What are my chances of pivoting into a Buy side role? Total exp 10yrs.
Appreciate pointers on how to get in - reach outs, upskilling

Addn: Deep exp in Financial Services ,Technology consumer banking, but not consumer otherwise. Some in Pharma & Healthcare as well

Can try PE Opps

I think buy side investment roles will be a challenge because you don’t have investment experience. PE opps or internal PE may be easier though.

Should also mention that the firm you’re at is v important. If you’re MBB that helps regardless of what you’re doing because of the prestige which PE cares about a lot. If Big 4 non deals very very hard I would say but nothing is impossible!

Yes you can find roles on LinkedIn. It will be very difficult to pivot to deal side. Possible if you jump to another fund, maybe LMM but candidly, unlikely

Why not go work for the fund you set up to be in the early deal team and say the role doesn’t matter?

Yeah seems like your best fit would be for a Portfolio Operations Senior Associate position

Thanks for quick revert. How should I apply? Are these roles available on LinkedIn? And any chance to move into deals team couple of years later?

What firm are you at? This is exactly what I want to do one day.

Haha, I'm at a boutique Management consulting firm that does a lot of run of the mill consulting things - distribution strategy, rev improvement, profitability, bpr, cost redn, hr initiatives, digital work, etc.

We were lucky to get shortlisted for this work thru an RFP route and beat EY Parthenon and Accenture strat in the RFP. But this is the first time we've done such work, it's not our bread and butter.

I searched and i’m incredulous we haven’t had this discussion yet. What’s your position on LIV. I think it’s a league mostly of has beens and never was’s designed to stroke Greg Norman’s ego and personal vendetta. I have no problem if you want to take the money to play events no one will care about and won’t get world ranking points, but don’t think you can have it both ways.

Looking for advice.. I’ve been on a management training programme on the lowest salary possible for just over a year and will soon be finishing the programme for a promotion. I know the average salary of my coworkers in the same role I’ll be going into and was wondering if anyone had advice for negotiating higher? We live in central London for context and due to the inflation are all struggling to manage our finances!
