When will on cycle for 2022 start be held? I definitely want to do PE but also don’t want to be a consultant for another year (I’m a second year BA). Would PE firms still interview me if on cycle doesn’t happen until fall or winter, and I leave McKinsey in summer for a different company (after completing my two years at McKinsey)? Or would I have to be a BA at the time of on cycle recruiting in order to successfully participate?

Hi,

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.
