I’m confused EY1. I’m talking about ops elsewhere in fund accounting, I’m not interested to move in front office lol. I’m hesitating btw going to Blackstone or a mid size PE for fund accounting to eventually become assistant controller, then controller.

Is your goal to end up at a large shop or mid market? Do you not care? IMO you can’t go wrong going to a well known shop. With going straight mid and lower market you should look at the asst controller/ controller/ CFO and mobility in relation to the timing of when you join vs when they joined/expected to leave

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?
