I Don't Wanna Go To PE Anymore
Current 2nd year in IB with a MM PE offer I signed during on-cycle.
I hate IB and I don't care about anything I do or learn about anymore. Also don't think I even want PE anymore, would rather take out a loan and buy a small business and work for myself. I don't know if I have the guts to quit though given how hard I worked to get the PE seat and feel like I need to see it out, do PE for at least a year. Just don't know if i can do the year in IB in between.
Any advice for someone in my position? Like I'm wondering if I should just be a horrible IB analyst how bad would that be.
Take your foot off the gas and be lower middle bucket. Very rare banks actually fire an analyst. Push back against as much work as you can and don’t focus on being liked.
Also use all your PTO and take as many vacations as you can.
Also I don’t necessarily think it’s bad to try out PE for a year or two if you don’t want to do it, but if there’s something you’d rather do than PE, just do it lol.
This. Plus unless you already have a fat stack, buying a small business got substantially harder to finance this year. Still can definitely be done, but your opportunities are much smaller.
