Your mom’s house. On a serious note, honestly, basically anything you want. The PE skillset is incredibly broad. I’ve seen people become CEOs or other executive roles. Ive seen people launch search funds. I’ve seen people go into other areas of investing like hedge funds, distressed, mezzanine and credit. I’ve seen people go do PhDs or to law school. I don’t think there’s a job you can’t spin a story for from PE. The world is your oyster, and you should seriously start considering what you want to do with your life at this point instead of focusing on the “best” exit opportunities

^This. All of it. You can go (back) to I-banking, HF, asset management, operator roles, search fund, bootstrap your own gig. The opportunities are quite literally, limitless. It’s one of the few industries that gives a ton of optionality.

The best one I ever heard was a guy who left a PE firm after 12 years as a Partner to start his own farm. That’s the dream.

Go back to banking

Hi everyone...

My role was impacted as part of the layoffs in my last Org.. bitter truth to digest. So I am looking for a new role and I would appreciate your help and support.

Can anyone share Hyderabad or Remote based PM/ Sr. PM jobs.

So I just started a new job in sales (B2B specifically). All my life I’ve been in blue collar jobs, military, then construction work ect. I don’t have much money saved to get myself my own business cards as I’m sure they are important to have, I’ve got all the info that I need to go out and start selling. I guess what I’m looking for is just tips on how you guys were successful walking into a whole new arena if that makes sense?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
