Is growth equity one of the most underrated careers in finance?
I go to a semi target in the south. Most of the hardo business majors are gunning for IB/consulting, maybe PE, majority have never heard of growth equity.
Make ~300k as an associate, clip mid 6 figures/7figs at the more senior level working ~60 hours a week (unless you're at a sweaty firm/on a live deal)
Stress seems much lower than HF or PE, as its much more rare to lose money on an investment
Get to send emails/talk to founders all day even as a junior
Culture seems good at most firms as it's pretty much your job to be personable, friendly and charismatic
Am I just being naive here? Is it really that good? curious if folks who work in GE can chip in.

If you think growth equity is underrated (ie hasn't been one of the most coveted jobs in investing in the last 10 years), you should take a look at the CVs of top growth equity fund teams, and see which renowned public and private equity funds they've left to be part of the industry
No technical skills LMAO
give me a break
How hard is it to break in?
Is this a troll post? Do you realize that growth equity has been one of the hottest sectors in the past decade? I don't know what idiots you've been talking to, but I guarantee you all the top business majors have heard of growth and respect it. And it is certainly not "more rare to lose money on an investment". Where do you get this info??
Shhhhhhhhh. Growth Equity is gay we do small deals and aren't as prestigious as the LBO boys, stay away.
