I’m on a PE engagement right now and am working with an SM that’s only done work with PE firms. He said the work and pace has been ridiculous. I haven’t gotten much more than four hours of sleep since the project kicked off and have worked through every weekend. Might be different on the other side of the fence. I would seek to understand what the role entails and if the pay and variable comp is worth it. If it is, maybe you’ll be able to retire early like P1 said.
I feel like you’d be doing a lot of M&A work. Same shit we’d do as consultants, but just in-house for their portfolio of companies. It’d be cool if you got involved in other parts of it.
Best of luck, OP. PE exits are always cool if you get in on the buy-side as opposed to middle or back office.
Way less
I hope you don’t like your life, bc you won’t get much of it if you join up.
He'll be able to retire earlier than you and enjoy his life while you mutter away.
Harsh, brah
Are hours that bad compared to consulting? Any data points on compensation?
