I’m at a T2 and have an offer for MBB at junior associate level but also buy side analyst role at a LMM PE fund. Pay would be similar MBB - higher base, PE - more potential bonus (up to 100%). Any advice on what to do. The fund is small (c. 2b over 4 raised funds) and somewhat no name while MBB is known.

Do you want to be in PE, or not?

Op check out the private equity and the buyside bowl. They talk about their hours there and they’re bad the whole time lol. Maybe lmm is better

Go to PE. If you want to you can always join mbb again as an associate. Plus with that skillset making EM should be easier for longevity

like

All the senior people are saying the same thing - the window for PE is now. You can always go back to MBB, but likely won’t get another shot at PE.

Even a no name firm shows you understand the investing.

PE for reasons above. Possible to try it out now and do MBB later. Inverse is not possible

Agree with A1. You can move into PE later from MBB if you want (and often bypass the brutal PE entry level role). But tough to go the other way around.
Congrats on having both offers!

like

Uh, not really. You need pre-MBA investing experience to land an investing role out of MBA or after a more senior level at MBB.

For MBB folks at post-MBA levels, PE Ops is usually the end destination. Whether by availability or choice.

Agree with Principal 1 and Consultant 3. Go to PE a now if you’re remotely interested in it. My friend’s dad is head of a very well known PE fund and even said the same thing, fwiw.

In the short term go to MBB. It sounds like you have the skillset to transition to PE at some point but MBB will open up many more doors from you and with a higher base and a more extensive network. It’s a no-brainer!

It’s very very very difficult to transition to PE on the investing side later in the career.

PE. Agree w others saying going Mbb to PE Wil be much harder than other way around. Many MBBers do it just for opp to pivot to PE

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
