Not exactly related, but how common are McKinsey to HF exits?

Pretty rare, but some PMs value CDD experience

OP are you associate / analyst level?

McKinsey > PE > HF?

I messed up my screenshare in a meeting with 2 colleagues and showed my personal email that had scheduling info for my onsite interviews with another company.

How were your experiences when letting it out the bag early like that?

Additional Posts in Private Equity and the Buy Side

I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

I am a woman who has been working as a tech PE investor for 8 months now, and have been feeling extremely discouraged by my experiences in this sector so far.

Any advice on how to handle this?
