Is it a risky time to move from MBB to PE PortCo?… There are no concerns that are pushing me to consider the move, just doing something new for more money but worse WLB … wondering if the tariffs and geopolitical context is a risky time to shift to PE

You need to just assess / underwrite the PortCo you would be working for. Do you think they’ll hit their investment thesis / CoC return target? Are they a strong, well performing business? Do the leadership team / PE firm have a history of successful exits? How long has the investment been held for so far?

If the company is in a market / geo / industry that has exposure to tariffs that could definitely impact the business, but it’s impossible to discern from your post

Thank you!.. to add some context, it’s a firm with $50B in AUM,
Mostly acquiring LMM
They do perform well, and have story of successful exits
They bought the company a few months back
And definitely will get hit by tariffs

I work for a portco and my wlb is mostly l

I’ll DM you, also at McK and wondering how different it is

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
