Advice - Jumping to another PE shop

..well if you're in a FoF role, you'll get exposure to other buyside shops. i suggest you use that network in the next 6 months to land at another PE shop.

yea, it would only be 50% of the time tho, the other would still be levfin.. dont know how much exposure I'd get to other shops...

how about PE acquisition Finance (buyside, primary) -> B-skool -> PE equity shop? realistic?

What's the structure of this shop?? Was there a previous post from you about this? Seems to me that PE is a lot more time intensive than FoF work so what are they really telling you? Who will you ultimately be working for etc.?

Set up like every other big PE shop, multiple funds each with its own team and scope... the FoF is low on "bandwith" so this is what they came up with and it was agreed by the powers that be...

basically, ontop of my daily duties as a credit analyst I would now also take on doing secondary FoF deals and be point person on a handful of sponsor relationships...

I'd report to two different teams depending on what needs to be done, if its buyout finance, then the credit heads, if its FoF, then those heads...

For experience purposes I'd still be executing primary investments (direct investments) but under the radar I'd do that FoF stuff as well within the firm...

That sucks. I wouldn't be pleased but I would just be very assertive in positioning myself to get staffed on principal investing stuff. If you're on 2 PCs and 2 live deals, they'll have to get someone else to do it. You were probably a candidate for the spot because you've been underutilized and have the time to spare. But then again, not sure how big your shop is.
