Lateraling After First Year As PE Associate
Hey Fellow Monkeys,
I'm currently an investment banking associate (A2A) who's looking to make the transition to private equity. I currently have an offer from a MM fund who's location / strategy / compensation is less than ideal, however, it presents an opportunity to break into private equity. Would I be better served continuing to recruit and stay in banking for the time being with no guarantee of landing another offer (for context I've been recruiting for 1 year with over 30/40 interviews and this being my first and only offer) or would it be better to take the offer and then after 6 months - 1 year of buyside experience look to lateral?
Appreciate any feedback in advance.

I think once you leave banking your optionality timeline shrinks again but it really depends how bad you want to go to the buyside immediately versus being patient
