Wondering what is your take on this. 3 months into my 6 months internship in a family office, the investment manager asked me if i want to apply to their portfolio analyst/business controller role with the possibility to move to investment associate in about 2 years. Upside being i don't need to hustle for another internship or full time job, but how does 2 years middle office look on my resume? Guess not great, don't want to get stuck if there is no headcount at the end. What do you think?

He likes you and genuinely wants you to stay on the team. Capital deployment at the moment does not look good rn, so he probably wants you to learn from the sidelines since investment team will be slow and he’ll want to recapture you when things pick up in 2023.

I agree on that front, it's just that he is putting me in a very vulnerable position at the same time. I will need to stay for at leat 4/5 years to make it worthwhile.

Do you get along with the broader team? That’s key for PE/VC (culture)
