I’m former McKinsey associate and now PE PortCo P&L owner - what are my options for my next career move? I joined McKinsey out of B School (HSW), left as a 2 year associate, and now I’m running a 25mm PortCo (home services). I’ll have been in the role for a year and want to start thinking about options (not in a rush to leave, just want to see what’s out there). Could I look at Ops Teams at MF/UMM or should I strictly target PortCos?

Depends on your McKinsey ratings. If they were strong, you should reach out to KKR Capstone. They love top performing MBB candidates with real operating experience.

How do they confirm your ratings? Is it just “trust me bro”

Why not just work your way up in the PortCo or move to another one within the fund? Your upside is likely going to be higher in the operator route if successful

Both. I just left a portco to go fund side, happy to chat as I was evaluating similar paths. It is much harder to go fund side.

I also left a portco to go fund side

Sent you a PM
