How many firms is too many? I’ve practiced 13 years. Since I was a 1st year associate, every 3 years or so I’ve been recruited for another opportunity that is hard to pass up. I’ve been at my current firm 3 years and got the call again, again about an opportunity that is hard to pass up. I don’t like having a reputation of a flight risk, but this keeps happening. Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.

If there’s any ex consultant, also wondering how it compares to consulting & what you like about your PE role

Anyone has a sample deal sheet and what it should include? Reached out by recruiter and they want to see my deal sheet. Also not sure how much I can share about clients

How useful is having worked with the PE practice (deal strategy, CDDs, etc.) of a consulting firm vs any other one when trying to break into PE? I understand it's probably better to come from such units but I wanted to understand in which ways it helps. Is it actually irreplaceable skills vs understanding of sector dynamics vs pure prestige?
Ps assuming MBB/Tier 1 consulting firms

For those who switched from consulting to mid market PE, how do you like it?
