Hi everyone -
I'm currently a senior associate at a global GE fund on track for VP promotion probably in less than 12 months.
I enjoy diligence, getting involved with boards, but don't love how much sourcing the role requires. I am talking travelling several times per month, anywhere from 10-20 new biz calls per week, lots of context switching, industry research, outreach, etc.
If I am truly honest with myself, i find it really uncomfortable to constantly switch context and be on the spot all the time. Like i may talk with a marketing software company, then next call is a construction software company, etc. Every week i probably review 5-10 solid opps and have to quickly get up to speed and present to the team weekly. I find this exhausting because i naturally do really well when i have to go deep on a few subjects vs going broad on many topics.
A few questions for this group:
- do you think a pure PE buyout fund would be a better fit? I know friends that work in PE and they do only banked deals and probably target to close 2-3 solid deals per year. This means they become experts in those industries and can work really closely with management (which i love)
- also considering corporate development - i am passionate about martech, spent lots of time in the space, and feel like i could add a lot of value if i joined a large SaaS marketing company. Did any of you make this transition?
Thanks
