Will the current economic environment have more risk for PE, or upside (given opportunity for “cheap” deals)?

Just wondering how this will all translate to hiring at the Associate level

Historically, deals done in downturns/recessions have produced the highest returns for PE. My firm sees a lot of opportunity in the coming 12 months

More a product of where we are in the fund life cycle, but we are not concerned about deals coming to a halt

How does your firm plan to finance these deals? Feels like getting debt at decent rates is going to continue to be tricky

Think It will be fine tbh. We have seen a slow down in deals, but it’ll pick up again. To your point, PEs have to put cash to work consistently. They’re not going to pass up on cheap deals.

I think we could see a bigger slowdown in VC. There’s going to be a lot more scrutiny here.

Hi all,

Need some advice on my next career move. I'm 31, have an MBA and am currently a SC in Risk Advisory with no M&A experience. I am good at risk consulting work but don't find it very challenging or interesting. That said, I expect to get promoted to M next year.

Recently, I interviewed with another Big 4 firm for SC in CDD M&A team and have got an offer. I enjoyed doing the CDD case study, and I believe I'd do well in the role.

Does it make sense to start afresh in M&A at this stage?
