Just accepted an IR analyst role at a PE RE shop. Planning on staying for at least 4 years as growth progression seems great. Curious to know what people tend to exit to after IR? Jeez our society is so crazy already thinking about the next step 😂

Ya fair, if I like it then I’m down ahhaha. Was just curious what IR opens doors too

IR is about relationships and fundraising. You build a network of enough consultants and CIOs who like and trust you and you’ll do fine.

Or you won’t, you’ll be “managed out,” and then you’ll get another bite at the apple somewhere else.

Fundraising sucks until it doesn’t. Good luck out there.

Hi Fishes,

Could it be because of expected salary ?
