They are quite different. Even IB to S&T is relatively tough within the same bank. Honestly PE is better in every way possible, I’m not sure why people would want to make this switch.

What is the career progression like in PE? At McKinsey where I am now, it’s fairly standardized, about 2-3 years at each level, and up/out model. If can’t get elected partner after 2 or 3 cycles, will likely get counseled out. Partner eligible for senior partnership after 6 years. How is it in PE? Is it up/out as well or can you end up being “stuck” at associate level for 10 years? How likely is it to be promoted, how fast and what happens if you are asked to leave (where do you go next?)

What Masters degree do y’all think is more valuable for breaking into finance: Masters of Financial Mathematics and Financial Technology or Masters of Economics. Thinking of using these as a method to breakout and then eventually going MBA route later on down the road. 1 YOE at Big 4 risk advisory, Engineering and Economics undergrad at top 50 University with 3.75 GPA if that matters at all.
