Began career in public accounting with a Big 4 firm in the Midwest. Primary focus on audit/consulting work with middle market and private equity firms. Early promotion to Manager at Big 4 firm and then sought opportunities elsewhere after 4 years; particularly opportunities in finance.
Currently at a sponsor finance group as an Associate focusing on LBOs in the middle market. MBA from a top 25 MBA program (i.e. like #20) and CPA.
Looking for career planning advice from fellow monkeys on WSO who might have similar experiences or who can simply provide useful advice. Thanks and cheers.
Bump
Curious as well
Update 5.5 years later from this original post (from 2015) which no one commented on: significant member of a LMM PE shop - investment team......many ways to navigate the waters over the first 5-7 years of your career....have a goal and stick to it. Do the little things right. Every day.
How long did you stick it out in banking before you made that jump?
