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

Would love any thoughts on my current situation. Worked 1 year at a T2 firm (EYP, OW, S&) and make the transition over to MBB 3 months ago.

While recruiting for MBB I was also doing off cycle GE recruiting. The process dropped off and resumed just a couple weeks ago and I’ve received an offer for this summer. Wondering if leaving after 6-8 months in MBB is too short or if I should just take the offer and run w it.

Thanks in advance.
