I’ve worked in a PE previously and then spent last couple years with a public accounting firm and the partners are discussing partnership role in 1-2 years. I’m not sure yet if this what I want to do and don’t feel very excited about that role. Does anyone know of any opportunities within the asset management (VC/PE space) or have ideas of what else I could consider at this career stage, please comment or dm me. Thank you!

What made you leave pe for public accounting?

How long have you been in public accounting?

Is your firm still close with you? Still in contact with old principals or mds?

Was your public accounting experience relevant, sector or otherwise for where you want to work?

Maybe try for a solid restructuring shop like a&m that’s like a lateral from public accounting since it’s a little closer with better pay or tbh partner at public problem isn’t a bad life man

What’s your skill set? Are you trying to go work for a PE/VC firm as an investment team member? Or doing fund accounting/firm finance? If the former, don’t have much advice, seems pretty impossible. If the later, feels very possible and there are likely tons of roles out there
