What’s the rough split of what people do post PE associate role (job-wise)?

Slightly POOMA/ anecdotal but seems like 40% do MBA, 40-50% do “industry” (usually startups, either their own or something like a chief of staff type role), and 10% or so stay in PE


Do think it’s quite interesting, FWIW, when I was going through PE recruiting I stressed a lot about getting into a big name fund but IMO it doesn’t actually matter that much since outcomes kind of converge regardless of MF vs LMM to an extent

I recently took up a Customer Success Manger role at a engineering software company. Previously I was a Project Manager at the same company but wanted to move out of my engineering services role. I primarily took this role hoping to get exposure to providing SaaS services as company is transitioning at software cloud. My long term goal is to move into tech as my current customers are mostly in O&G. Is customer success a good entry point go get into one for the big tech companies?
