Two things 1. Try to develop the execution skillset if you can 2. Look for LMM/MM shops where BD skills are valued and/or there are dedicated bd teams ..just my 2 cents

What is BD at a PE firm?

I was gonna say the same as Bain;
Arguably a bit of a different skill from selling a product or service. Maybe there’s some way to illustrate your ability to present value in a market as it relates to creating $ for investors. People who might invest are likely a different set of outreach and objection handling skills than you’re accustomed to. Not that it can’t be done, but that’s what I’d be thinking if I were supposed to fill a req

Realistically speaking, at least with a cold application, it may be a tough transition

I’m sure others have considered this, I really feel burned out on my specific subspecialty. For the most part I do interventional pain management.

I’m honored to be a physician and to help a handful of people, but any suggestions on changing specialties mid life? I have perhaps 15 to 20 years yet to practice..
