What is a typical exit opportunity for a Director in FDD? I’m over the stress, but I feel like the monotony of industry will equally stress me out. I have only done FDD my whole career so the PE exit route is likely not going to happen (I’m realistic 🙂)

I’ve seen some people go from SM or director roles in FDD to controller positions.

Yeah agreed there SM1, that would be a situation that would make sense

LMM PE is very realistic

Getting a job as an associate after being a director does not seem very enticing. Comp would go down when compared to A&M unless there was significant carry involved.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
