I imagine you’re talking about turnover at the Associate/VP level — it is really a grind. You’re basically a catch-all for whatever deals don’t fit into an existing strategy. So TacOps falls victim to a ton of adverse selection deal flow that they have to chase down to do all the work and close the loop before they kill it. It’s usually much more complex and bespoke, so every single situation is a heavy lift and has a very low yield of rocks turned over to deal getting done. You’re also now faced with a new dynamic. TacOps used to be where the growthier stuff would reside. That was actually pretty interesting and higher probability. Growth is now a defined and separate strategy. Since a lot of the deal flow comes through other channels, you’re mostly an execution guy even through the mid-late-stages in TacOps.
Interesting insights.
