Hi everyone,
I worked in IB for ~4 years and then went on to start my own business. I am now trying to go back to Growth / Tech PE? Is it possible? Personally, I am finding it hard to get back traction with the usual HH after 1.5 years "out of the market", but not sure if the market is only slower given summer.
Any feedback / inputs would be very much appreciated! Also, would be happy to DM anyone in the who is or was in a similar position at some point!
Thanks!!
The market is pretty slow right now, but without prior buyside experience I think it's going to be a tough sell to HHs. Would you consider another year in banking?
Thanks for the reply! Going back to banking not really tbh - but thinking maybe VC would be an easier sell? Then eventually go from there to Growth...
I am also reaching out directly to my network, working already in Growth / Tech PE - are referrals realistic, or tough to sidestep HH?
I think it could be done with “outside of the box” approaches” the HHs aren’t good anyway with LMM. Focus on networking and frame it with your “operating experience” as the selling point. I think someone will hire you as an associate.
Bump — how’d this go
