Hi all,
Background - 2 years of tech investment banking (1 yr boutique, 1 year EB) before making a decision to join the strategic development and M&A team of a leading insurance company in order to stay in NYC with NYC.
While I have enjoyed the better WLB (albeit at lower comp), I mainly joined due to the promise of a balanced mix of M&A and investment work. However, due to a recent reorg, the team has been split into investments and M&A, and I am currently stuck on the M&A-only team.
I have tried to recruit for outside investments / PE opportunities but have had no luck. I understand that the market is slow and I am competing with laid off bankers as well. I have reached out to old HH contacts but have largely been ghosted as well.
My question is have I missed the boat on recruiting for PE roles? Should I consider jumping back into IB in order to have a better chance to recruit for PE or wait out until the market improve?
Mod alert: We have announced a PE Interview boot camp for July 21, 2023. Check it out here: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/courses/live-training/private-equity-interview-bootcamp. Happy recruiting!
Mod alert 2: The Bootcamp is sold out. If you couldn't get a seat, please check out our PE interview Course. Good luck with the interviews!
