Breaking into PE as a Civil engineer....can this be done?
I majored in Civil engineering and graduated with a 3.9 with honors. I graduated in 2021 and have been working as a civil engineer ever since, not really happy with the work I do and the field in general. I have been doing my research about the finance industry and PE stood out to me and I have been trying to figure out ways to break into the industry.
I went to a non target school but I did take a certification course in RE finance where I learnt about valuation and running the basic DCF, cash flow models and have taken intro level courses in economics.
Given my background what should I do to break into the industry ? Can I do it without getting a MSF ?
IB first
A lot of bankers in my group were engineers but did a mba at m7 and went into IB than PE
If you are only a year or so out of undergrad, you can try to get your foot in by doing IB and then following the path from there. Also try to read up on and explore infra PE. Might be easier given your civil engineering experience..
For IB, do you think I could break in just by networking or do I need to go back to school and get a MSF ?
