Thoughts on going from valuation consulting to doing valuations at Blackstone for their PE fund? Want more exposure to finance and PE.

It’s a decent exit if you don’t want to stay in client service, but you will be considered a back office employee and if your goal is to be part of the investment team that likely won’t happen.

Should be a relatively cushy job but will be considered middle office and you’ll be second class to any investment/value creation/capital raising teams. One thing to consider is that valuation work is pretty routine and structured. So as our industry enhances digitally including portco data collection and AI capabilities - valuations will be one of the first areas to get automated and it is already starting to happen.

Do what you want, you know your situation better than I do. I’m just saying consider the trajectory of industry trends and place yourself wisely.

Just been in same role for 4 years out of college, pay is better at Blackstone and think it could be a great opportunity and resume booster
