Private Equity Funds of Funds Exit Opps - Any good?

by romeodunn_2009 (Senior Chimp, 29 Banana Points Points) on 8/21/08 at 5:42pm

I am interviewing with a boutique PE funds of funds shop. I wanted to ask what are the exit opportunities from a stint in a PE FoF boutique? Can you move into a PE firm or I-banking after it? What do you guys think? Would appreciate comments...

Tough to speculate but I do

Tough to speculate but I do have a friend who was doing FoF for awhile and he has had great exposure to partners at various funds. At this point, you should take any respectable job offer you can as it is pretty ugly out there and will likely continue to get worse as the industry consolidates.

I second the "respectable job offer" motion. Not only are they harder and harder to come by, I would think that you couldn't ask for better exposure on a constant basis to potential future job opportunities.

Good luck.
