this literally is the exit opp
Would appreciate some answers
what answer are you looking for? people get into sellside gigs (IBD, ER) to ultimately move into a position like the one you have available to you. what would be the point in seeking "exit opps" from what is already a very coveted position and why on earth would you be asking about PE if you're going for a markets-facing role in the first place?
Interested in PE and would like to know what my chances are with the likes of Mega Funds.
Take this job hussle for a return and don’t look back. Money might be a bit less short term but you won’t be miserable and will probably learn a lot.
I assume the likely exits are in public market investing but you should be thinking about crushing it and not exiting rn.
Update: didn't end up accepting the offer. Worked elsewhere. Think Apollo/CVC/Summit
