Will PE firms take mid-career consultants as 1st year associates? I’m willing to move for a lesser position but higher comp given my experience don’t align 1:1.

If you are currently at Publicis Sapient that’s gonna be impossible. Need to lateral to MBB or T2 that does DDs. Regarding whether it is worth it, it could be worth it depending on your comp currently. Average TC for associates at MM firms is 220-270k ish give or take. Is that higher than your current comp?

Got it. If you get into MBB, then you can think about making a move like this, but I would temper your expectations until then. Based on your other reply indicating you are in your early 30s, you would be mid 30s by the time you have enough MBB/T2 experience to have a shot, so just keep that in mind.

Honestly I wouldn’t even go for T2, just MBB. It’s still so hard to break into PE from T2 (from my experience recruiting) with a traditional background, so with your background it would make it tougher.

What are you defining as mid-career? If you’re talking a 40 year old director, then no.

Agreed with MD1, don’t do that to yourself. It’s a brutal role and there is a reason the target demo is 24-29

For investment team? Not likely

Likely only in LMM and comp would be much lower in PE

Congratulations to all the people getting a job offer in the past three months, but let me ask you a serious question.

Are you negotiating once you get the offer or are you just accepting it because you are so happy?

I understand that the fear is that they will take back their offer, but to be honest that will never happen.

If they made you an offer is because they have selected you over hundreds, if not thousands, of other applicants.
