“My mentoring session with Andre was extremely valuable and gave me the clarity and direction I needed at an important stage of my application journey. He was kind, approachable, and generous with his time, creating an atmosphere in which I felt comfortable sharing my experiences, asking questions, and discussing my doubts openly.
One of the most helpful aspects of our conversation was his guidance on how to organize and communicate my personal story. Andre helped me understand how to connect different experiences into a coherent narrative, identify the elements that matter most, and explain their significance more clearly. His perspective was fundamental in helping me see how to present my background with greater confidence, purpose, and authenticity.
I particularly appreciated his advice on what to avoid. He helped me recognize that including every detail does not necessarily make a story stronger, and that being selective can make a message much more effective. Our discussion gave me a clearer understanding of how to avoid unnecessary repetition, keep my narrative focused, and ensure that each part contributes something meaningful to the overall application.
Andre also provided valuable guidance on how to organize the application process itself. He helped me think more clearly about priorities, how to approach the different components, and how to make the work feel more manageable. Having a clearer structure has made a difference to my mindset: instead of seeing the applications as one overwhelming task, I now feel better equipped to approach them through specific, achievable steps.
Another important takeaway was his advice on how to use the coming days effectively. Our conversation helped me understand where to focus my energy, which tasks deserve immediate attention, and how to establish a realistic plan. I left the session with a stronger sense of direction and a better understanding of how to balance thoughtful preparation with consistent progress.
What made the experience positive was the combination of practical guidance and encouragement. Andre offered suggestions in a considerate and constructive way, helping me reflect on my choices while also making me feel supported. His kindness made it easier to engage honestly with the process and to see areas for improvement as opportunities to strengthen my applications.
Overall, this session was fundamental in helping me understand both what I want to communicate and how to move forward. I now have a clearer approach to telling my story, organizing my applications, avoiding common mistakes, and planning the next few days with intention.
I am very grateful for Andre’s support and for the care he brought to our conversation. His advice gave me useful tools, renewed confidence, and a more focused approach to the work ahead. I would highly recommend a session with him to anyone seeking thoughtful guidance, practical direction, and a supportive space to develop their application narrative. The session helped me turn uncertainty into a clearer plan, and I feel much more prepared to make the most of the time ahead and present my experiences in a meaningful and convincing way.”

Joining a transpo team within a bb which also does some P3 work. I’ve seen some former members of the team move into Infra PE
Honestly dude if you’re in PF you’re prob gonna stay in muni’s, I’ve seen some guys do LMM PE but it’s not really that common. Most people either pivot to S&T, or go to buy side AM/HF’s
This is true. I am from PF. VERY pigeonholing. Was able to network into IB. It's do-able with the right spin-zone for your story. Have faith
Can you pm me? I have a question for you.
Would you mind shooting me a PM?
Could you PM me? I have an opportunity to go to a MM fund and would like to hear about the other cases of PF professionals who transitioned to PE without doing corporate IB
Private equity is a very uncommon exit, healthcare offers some fairly interesting ones, I have seen managing directors, make the move to be chief financial officers at health systems. I would think more people would likely move either into a government role like debt management, or to a long only asset manager. There are a handful of municipal distress/private credit/hedge funds. For instance, Preston Hollow, Fundamental Advisors. The only private equity exit that I’ve seen was to an infrastructure fund, so I would think anything that touches infrastructure, e.g., transportation, water/sewer, electric utilities. The other thing that might lead to more traditional exits is doing industrial revenue bonds for corporate type issuers.
anything infra or healthcare related probably best
