1. PE
2. HF
3. VC

PE is a fairly interesting job and decent pay/lifestyle. HF gets to do interesting strategies and crazy stuff, but probably gets repetitive and public markets are annoying. I’m not a fan of the VC model (founders really can get screwed) and I’m not into the tech stuff. Also not convinced the money is nearly as good in the median VC firm.

From the outside, I always thought of PE firms to be well-oiled machines where everyone is working hard but with a clear purpose. Now starting at an LMM as a senior associate I feel kind of lost. It’s chaos - every person above me wants something else and there are constant discussions, bickering and politics being played. Is this representative of other (LMM?) PE firms, or did I get unlucky? It feels like a tech startup lol.
