What is it like recruiting into LMM - MM PE from a non top tier IB. It has a growing presence on the street but still doesn’t have the prestige. That said, I should get some pretty solid exposure. I’m in the TMT group which has done a pretty good amount of M&A work historically (however that may change with market conditions the way they are)

Is audit experience good to have? I’m an experienced (have almost 10 yrs exp) hire working on accounting advisory and have never been audit. My group got an email saying that there is an opportunity to work on commercial audit for a short term (2-3 months busy season) and ask to join if interested. Is it worth doing? I dont want to stay audit in long run. I wonder if it is worth having the experience.

Does anyone have an American Airlines drink voucher they’d like to share? 🙏

Hello Accountants,

I have a question. I have enough credits for the CPA exam, but before I realized that I was aiming for a Master in Accounting and got accepted in my school 5 year program for that purpose. Is there any benefit of getting said master? Or should I focus on passing the CPA exam instead? I just finished my first tax internship and everybody said that the CPA was unavoidable but nobody talked about any benefit of getting a master whatsoever.
What do you guys think?

Has anyone pivoted from medical staff services/credentialing into the tech industry/med tech without a college degree? If so, what steps did you take to get there? I’m considering finding some courses that would allow me to transition careers. 1) I’m burntout of what I am doing right now. 2) I want a career that allows me to continue to be challenged in new ways and the opportunity for higher compensation.

Having a bit of an existential crisis - but fishbowl hasn’t steered me wrong so far.

I’ve got an offer to study a masters in international affairs (focus in economics) at Columbia SIPA (no financial aid package) or I could stay in management consulting (5-6 ywe) at Oliver Wyman.

I enjoy consulting but it wasn’t what I see myself doing long term. Longer term I saw myself either being an economist or working in the world bank.

Interested in the perspectives of folks in this bowl. Thanks guys

Anyone have a CSCP book or materials they’d like to sell/give away?

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

Is there a standard/typical “deal” for lateral partner compensation at AmLaw 100-200ish firms? I’m hearing one firm offers 25% originations / 25% of working attorney hours (WAC) and another article I read used a similar structure as an example, but wondering what the norm is, or if there is one?

Considering moving out of my consulting role (non MBB) and starting to network/prep to move into IB. Have no long term interest in IB but want to break into PE. Is this a good idea or is moving to MBB/PE friendly consulting firms more feasible?

How feasible is it to join as an associate at a reputable fund for a few years then jump ship to another that invests in sectors you’re more interested in (even if no direct experience in these sectors). Specifically interested in getting into energy PE down the line, but have an offer from a pretty good place that has little exposure to energy in the US

Honest thoughts on best qualifications to go after to break into PE from consulting - should I go after ACA/CFA/CAIA? I feel I’ve only got the patience to do one of these 😂

Anyone have a sense for when 2023 PE on cycle recruiting will kick off?

1.5 years into consulting and got an offer at respected family office for an investment associate role starting in 2-3 months. Competitive comp. Is it worth waiting for other non-cycle processes at more traditional buy out shops or take what you can get? I’m not in a rush to leave my current job and up for promotion soon FWIW

Extremely toxic work environment & interviewing for other jobs. Would you 1) risk being fired (unsure when) or 2) quit/give notice and risk not having an offer fast enough? My finance is set and I’m primarily concerned about professional reputation. Somewhat unsure what to say to interviewers with whom I already started the process, though the real reason is role is nothing like advertised worsened by diff personalities… What would you do?

Anyone’s PE firm hiring? Investment team or ops?

How do these PE interview processes actually work? Does each interviewer say yes/no? Do they give a rating? How do firms decide who to advance?

Anyone interview with greycroft investment team role before?
