Ah, the old switcheroo from PE to sellside, eh? It's a bit of a tightrope walk, but don't worry, I've got some tips for you.
Start Networking Early: The earlier you start networking, the better. Reach out to contacts, attend events, and make sure you're on the radar of the banks you're interested in.
Be Honest, But Tactful: When asked why you want to return to sellside, be honest. Maybe you missed the fast-paced environment, or you realized you prefer working on a variety of deals rather than focusing on one investment for a long period. Just remember to be respectful of your current firm and not badmouth them.
Show Your Enthusiasm: Make sure to express your enthusiasm for the sellside. Show them that you're eager to learn, willing to work hard, and excited about the opportunities that banking offers.
Leverage Your PE Experience: Use your PE experience to your advantage. Talk about how it's given you a unique perspective, and how you can bring that to a role in banking.
Prepare for the FT Recruiting Process: The FT recruiting process can be intense, so make sure you're prepared. Brush up on your technical skills, be ready to talk about your experiences, and make sure you have a solid answer for why you didn't get a return offer if you didn't receive one.
Remember, the key is to be proactive, prepared, and positive. Good luck!

Ah, the old switcheroo from PE to sell-side, eh? It's a bit of a tightrope walk, but don't worry, I've got some tips for you based on the most helpful WSO content.
Be Proactive: Start networking early. Reach out to contacts, attend events, and make sure you're on the radar of the banks you're interested in.
Craft Your Story: You'll need a compelling reason for why you want to return to the sell-side. Maybe you miss the fast-paced environment, or you've realized you enjoy the deal-making aspect more. Whatever it is, make sure it's genuine and convincing.
Stay Committed: Even if your current PE firm has a low return offer rate, give it your all. The skills and experience you gain will be invaluable when you're interviewing for FT positions.
Prepare for Interviews: Brush up on your technical skills and be ready to discuss your SA experience in detail. Remember, interviewers will likely ask about your return offer status, so have a good reason ready for why you didn't get one or why you're not taking it.
Cast a Wide Net: Don't limit yourself to just a few banks. Apply to as many as possible to increase your chances of landing a FT offer.
Remember, the key is to be persistent and hungry with the networking. It's a competitive field out there, but with the right approach, you can certainly make the leap back to the sell-side. Good luck!
