Thanks! Always thinking about the next steps.

3-4 years depending on the company

Asso is the best time to lateral to the buyside... You're late for on-cycle PE (since that is a year+ in advance) but you can try for lmm PE, distressed debt, or traditional PC. Maybe also CLO at an asset manager or hedge fund. What team are you currently on?

Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Weighing whether another year of IB experience would be helpful, or would just make me one year older at the same starting point in PE.
I’m 1.5 years out of college as an analyst at a middle market bank within the healthcare M&A group. Getting worked a lot but starting to operate as an associate on deals. Debating accepting an offer for a newer, lower-MM healthcare and growth focused PE firm. I know I want to go to PE at some point, but what are some thoughts on when you should go?
