Those that went from MBB, Big 4/Tier 2 to PE/VC. It’s talked about a lot on medium, but not so much here. Anyone make over to that side? If so, what was your journey, what type of work did you do before vs now, how is the compensation, and is it really all that it’s made out to be?

There is a PE bowl you should join. I left 2 years out of undergrad. My comp tripled. People are very smart and the pressure/ownership is on another level. WLB is very cyclical. Overall stress level is something consulting will never touch. But if you can tough out the stress + bad WLB + perform at a high level = you’ve got insane upside

I work with a fair number of PE clients and they work similar hours. Stress drivers are different but similar in magnitude.
