Have the unproven and unprovoked confidence that most men possess. I say that with genuine good regard. Being confident gets people to places they want to be.

You don't have to "prove yourself" just because you're a woman, nor do you have to take on more supportive "feminine" roles. Some people try to push outdated gendered nonsense on us in the industry and we can simply reject it. Work hard because you're a hard worker, not because you have to "keep up" or compete with men.

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation). Is there a significant difference in total comp potential between ops and investments roles? Not sure how to make a case to break into investments with minimal DD experience, so thinking about Ops recruitment (Associate). Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.
