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

like

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

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.

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
