I'm currently working in PE asset class of a large public pension fund. I work with primary fund investing and co-investments. Are there good exit opportunities to other large investment management firms like BlackRock? I'm concerned that the longer I stay at the current role, the harder it is to exit. I'm early in my career.

Fund investing is usually the exit opportunity. Many times senior people spend years doing direct investments before transitioning to fund investments at pension funds or family offices. It’s harder to go the other way around, but it’s honestly a great gig especially when you start to have other life priorities.

I agree that it's a good gig. Great work life balance with decent pay, but I feel like I could do more. I'm young so I can definitely grind.

We hire lots of talent with your background. I don’t see much downside to waiting a few years, but if you’re itching to get into an investment firm, you could do that now or after a few years. The longer you stay where you are, the larger the pay increase will be coming to an asset management firm.

Thank you BR1. I'm not ready to settle down at my current role yet, so it's good to know that there're still great options. You're right that it's not a hire me now question.

First year associate thinking about making the just from medium sized reputable IP firm to In House.
