Question for those who are currently in PE deal teams from consulting backgrounds. As an incoming PE associate this summer, is there anything you think I should read / study / do to prepare for the job now that you’ve had experience in the role already?

Enjoy your time off. Firm should be good at training you up. If you REALLY want, practice writing concise investment memos (pro con style) . Learning curve for me was transitioning from consulting where writing was verbious and full of buzzwords to a terse writing style. Likely your inquisitive from your background, but I highly recommended asking questions

Good morning fellow fish!

For the last year or so I (24m) have felt the desire to move on from my current company for a few different reasons:

1. The industry/company doesn’t captive/inspire me
2. I do not see a desirable career ladder over the next 5-10 years
3. The work is moving further away from the things I enjoy (analysis, business/strategy, metrics/reporting)

I’ve started to prepare for a job search, but I don’t know what I want to do so I’m almost scared to start. Any advice?

Really struggling right now. My wife doesn’t believe in sleep training or any type of schedule for our firstborn son. He’s over a year now and refuses to nap when we try to put him down. My wife doesn’t care that he takes over an hour every night to fall asleep or sometimes just won’t nap unless we take him for a drive, but being home every day it’s really wearing me down. I support her and love her but our second is on the way and I’m really worried
