Hi, I am wondering what a path from engineering to PE might look like from those that have seen it or done it.
Would it be far fetched to work in an engineering consulting firm doing building design and construction then move to something like BX Portfolio Operations group with an infrastructure focus? Basically going into Portfolio Operations with a focus similar to your engineering work?
Cheers!
