Not me, but I know lots of associates who have done it. Harder road, but definitely still doable
Did they all take a pay cut and essentially take a post banking analyst role?
It isn't the end of the world- trust me. I've seen analysts go to PE, and after 2-3 years they either end up back in banking or move on to corp roles. PE is not a lifetime gig. It feels like it is now, but realistically, you're sub 30yo. You still have ~25-30 years of a career left, and it WILL constantly change.
^Also not everyone is cut out for it, being good at IB is not indicative that you'll succeed in PE, and there are very limited spots at the top
It's really brutal! I've seen associates give everything- putting off families, MBA, or other milestones, to make it to VP in PE. And they never did.
