Need help leaving PE
Currently working at a top MM PE firm. I want to leave and do something else. I love talking to people and enjoying strategy. I do not want to work more than 50 hours a week. I want to make 6 figures and enjoy my job.
I am considering:
- GS PWM
- Tech Sales
- Big Tech strategy role
- IR at a large fund
- Family Office
- Endowment
I am open to anything. Does anyone have any other ideas or insight into the roles I listed above?
Big tech strategy is not going to be an easy or chill job right now, same with tech sales where you're constantly under pressure.
I would look at strategy at F500 firms, or public companies in your coverage area. Also RM or product strategy roles in asset management
You could probably easily transition into IR at your current fund. Idk how your fund pays but at my MF it seems that the folks got 80% - 85% total cash comp (no carry of course) but worked 9-6/7pm most of the time and pretty limited weekend work.
The more senior you get you’re expected to be ‘sales-y’ and less execution so you may enjoy that aspect. The head of IR was pretty well respected by our IC as well so that also seemed appealing.
Seemed like a pretty underrated gig but thats just one firm
I’m pretty sure senior level IR professionals get carry. Also think there may be times they work past 9pm.
