From boutique TMT strategy consulting to PE
Hi all,
I'm an HBS grad currently a consultant at a boutique strategy shop focused on tech media and telecom. I'm happy where I am at the moment because my firm (although small) is extremely well-regarded among our blue chip TMT clients, the work we do is very high quality and quantitatively rigorous, and the 200 person culture is a great fit for me (worked in corporate strategy at a Fortune 50 before b school and hated the whole conglomerate vibe).
A fair amount of the work we do consists of diligences on targets in the TMT space for PE and HF clients. This is the part of the business that I enjoy the most and the more DDs I do the more I think that, ultimately, I'd like to transition from one side of the table to the other. That is, make a move to a PE or hedge fund, more likely in a portfolio ops role and at a tech-focused fund, given my background. I'm wondering if you all think this is even possible, given that I don't have a finance background and I'm not at a big 3 consultancy. Keep in mind I'd likely be targeting a smaller shop, not the Blackstones or KKRs of the world. Other relevant info: Ivy undergrad with a technical major, and I'm told I'm in the top 10% of performers at my current firm.
Also while this isn't a move I'm looking to make right this minute, any thoughts you have on how I could best set myself up for a successful transition in the future would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much everyone!
