What do you learn in PE that you don’t at MBB? Do consultants who make the switch feel like it was a good idea to try PE out for two years?

A lot. I made the transition and you realize how much consultants don’t actually see / touch in a deal. The market diligence is really just one small, but very important, piece of diligence.

I don’t know really anyone that did two years of PE and goes back to consulting. Not only will the learning / scope of work feel insignificant but the step back in compensation is hard to deal with as well

I feel like my brain works like a consultant, and I would enjoy consulting, but I also looove all things finance & investing.
