Career Resources
I did this exact same move and as you rightly call out, grass is always greener elsewhere. I don’t regret it, but the career stability of a HF job is very slim. Probabilities are against you but the work itself is more interesting and the payout could come sooner, but on a risk adjusted basis, the PE seat likely yields better outcomes.
The under appreciated aspect of staying in PE is that it provides more tangible learning experiences to going to a corporate role (cfo, corpdev, strategy, etc.) and it’s easier to convince the next place that you have that skillset.
Thanks for the response. Can you give more detailed info on your anecdotal experience with stability and comp and how it all worked out for you, as well as how you’re viewed from other places if you theoretically did want to leave for whatever reason or were forced out?
Was paid 400-500 in MF PE and for the past few years have been in the 500-1M range. My range is a lot wider now with probably something like 600 as a floor to 1.5-2M as the ceiling (unless we have a massive year at which point it can be higher).
Career stability isn’t great. At the end of the day, all funds are a few down years away from massive amounts of redemptions so that’s just the reality of the job/industry. So it’s cliche but you’re trading off stability for higher cash reward sooner rather than later vs PE/PC.
No idea how other jobs/funds would view me. Not sure I want to go anywhere else given the ramp required every time and the incremental dollar is worth less and less with each passing year.
How big is the AUM of your fund? Is $1B-$5B considered small?
I’ll just say it’s >$1B
