No worries! Thank you

Easily, Financial Sponsors Group.

Great exposure, great pay, and most importantly, great for making PE/HF connections! Did I mention they work less hours than any IB coverage or product group?

uplifting

They are seriously misformed, as FSG is among the least niche. PE modeling skills can be developed along the way, it's one's connections that are literally everything. Due to this, there are more PE pivots from FSG, than even M&A. Additionally, there are very few senior bankers remaining at the higher levels (so many leave to PE), and thus Sponsors MDs are often worth their weight in gold.

Hahaha waiting to see responses like....
