Does anyone with average IQ succeed in PE ?
Maybe a stupid question but been scrolling though tons of PE shops management team and I swear most of them went to ivy leagues and graduated summa cum laude or went to HBS and graduated as a Baker scholar. Is this a common theme in PE?
Do strong EQ and a good work ethic not cut it in private equity?
Might just be my perspective, but I think it’s all about work ethic, but that shows through the strong undergrad and grades and such. I don’t think super high IQ and success inherently go hand in hand.
I graduated summa cum laude at a top 10 undergrad but I don’t think I’m any smarter than many of my classmates. I think I was just efficient and dedicated in my work. I wasn’t naturally gifted in any of my courses, I just studied my ass off, took tons of practice tests, so whenever I was evaluated, I was more than prepared.
are you at a MM fund or MF ?
Heading to middle market firm. Not as interested in megafunds (so didn’t put my name in at all for them), seems so niche and just another larger corporate experience.
Congrats, hope to work in the MM one day.
