In PE, basically serve as the eyes and ears of the sponsor and help drive the transformation plan (100 day and onwards). Usually a 3-4 year role as you won’t make many friends.

Best way to get a role is to know the sponsors and demonstrate any ability to execute and deliver.

Adding to McK 1 - for some funds (Platinum is the big one I know of) VP transformation is kind of the entry point to VP in their Portfolio Ops teams.

The PE culture is sick. The 20 something VP was rude to our partner because our team took thanksgiving and the day before off and it was in the engagement letter that we were gonna be off. He kept emphasizing that his team did our job while we were on a break. Dude we are not sick like you and we have lives. I see something about how s**t the PE culture is in every deal we support.

Like these sickos make fun of us for working 80+ hours weeks for them and taking thanksgiving off.
