Let go from PE?
Those who were let go from PE (~7 months in) and are interviewing - how did you explain this to HH / future firm when you're looking to go back into PE? What would be an answer that does not "ding" you?
Appreciate some advice
Why were you let go after 7 months? That’ll be good to know before anyone can really help you here.
Aligned with kuf. Was it fund performance, your performance, or both? Were you the only one let go or others too?
It was a performance-related decision. My workload ended up being concentrated with one partner for the majority of my time there, so my evaluation was heavily weighted toward that single experience. I made a mistake on a project, and although I took accountability for it, I didn’t feel I had the opportunity to demonstrate improvement.
I enjoyed my experience in PE, and do want to stay in the field. Appreciate any pointers on navigating recruitment given my situation
