Hello fellow monkeys,
I think I'm burnt out to the point I am second guessing going into PE after my analyst stint. The hours seem the same. The work is more or less the same too, just on the different side of the aisle. I am thinking of a corporate strategy role at a tech firm, maybe one of the FAANGs, or even in their M&A department.
Does anybody know any recruiters that has a lot of exposure in this space?

Linkedin (seriously) - I doubt FAANG uses headhunters for finance roles (non-technical)
Can confirm they don't use HH unless it's for group heads and even then only if they've struck out for a while and need to fill a spot
Is networking a must?
Not a must (nowhere near the importance of networking in IB / PE / VC) but always a plus to do so. Generally will find more responses cold connecting over LinkedIn. (I reached out to probably 15-20 people across various tech companies and received some type of response from over half of them)
Went through the process earlier this year and got an offer (didn't end up taking) so happy to opine
They don't use HH and 0 networking is required
You just need to fully understand their technology/ product and be able to talk through in great detail
What vague category was the company and care to share details on the offer?
I don’t work in tech but curious what they offer ex-IB guys (have mostly seen moves to tech at the senior IB level)
Similar to poster below I'd be curious as to size / general industry of company and what drove you to not take an offer and stay in IB as well as comp range.
any idea on comp?
