For the past couple of months I've been working at a boutique shop with $400M AUM. I graduated from a non-target state school and had excellent internship experience in CF. I got a little too comfortable and found myself wanting out. Took a risk, applied to 100 places, five interviews later I received an offer. Currently working on Asset Sourcing, Due Diligence and portfolio management/Exits.
I am only writing this post because I did not know what private equity was until my senior year, thanks for opening my eyes. Feel free to pm me/ask questions. I will answer them to the best of my availability.
To be brutally honest, I just got lucky. That, and I've been told by strippers I am cute.
Dude, that's baller! Thanks for sharing! Did you work in CF at a fortune 500 or did you just intern at a fortune 500 and then went straight to PE?
I had my summer internship experience at a F500 company. I signed with the PE firm a month before graduating.The industries are not related.
Nice post, especially that last bit. Glad you're finally doing something that makes you happy, I love that feeling...
You got a PE job? How awesome congrats. hopefully i will work in PE some day. Funniest thing is that im a sophmore and i knew what private equity was and what they did in the middle of my freshmen year.
Look at the troll up there.^
