Working in Russian private equity

Hello everyone,

I am working in private equity in Russia (as a Russian speaking foreigner). Was wondering if there was anyone else in the same boat/Investment banking?

If so would be cool to learn your story and your vibes about Russia/CIS.

A lot of the big firms have left Russia due to the corruption

Because when you're in a room full of smart people, smart suddenly doesn't matter—interesting is what matters.
