I’m at PE ops but I’m interested in deal work. If recruiters reach out to me before my 1 year mark should I take them or wait it out? Worried about how it’ll look on my resume as a “job hopper” or if my current team will be upset

If you succeed, you will have presumably landed the exit you want and can settle down for a while. If you fail, no one’s the wiser. Where’s the downside?

I think PE ops -> Investing role is not easy career change. So i would take it if you are interested in deal team.

Take it

Just curious OP — do you not like PE ops? If so, why?

Depending on the opportunity, hopping for only one job won’t do irreversible damage.

Hi,
Last week I gave 4 rounds of interview with JPMC for the Associate position for WM division.
Last Friday I received email from HR asking last 3 payslips, and all info related to pay along with the ECTC and resume and gave everything over the weekend.
I gave expected as 30 fixed and currently at 20.8 fixed with 4 YoE in analytics and DS and overall 5+.
Still haven’t heard back from the HR.
