What do the exit ops look like for an average/above average associate with about a year of Big 4 FDD experience? Would PE be a possibility or most likely have to do IB first?

Not IB or PE at all, 1 year of experience won’t get you far.

Yes, but not in this market/recession. Heck people can’t even get into FDD.

PE likely impossible. Right now IB is tough. Exit ops probably similar to jobs you could’ve gotten out of college after 1 years

You will not sniff PE if you are just average / above average. Most in PE have prior banking experience or top MBA pedigrees.

Curious on how PE can tell whether you are average/above/superstar, primarily soft skills during the interview?

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
