PE Entry

Hi.
It’s my first public post ever. I am writing with a lack of guidance and I hope this forum would help me build.

I have 8+ years of Experience in Backend operations in finance, Insurance and Consultancy Services. I have good knowledge on Investment banking operations but that’s it .

I’m 31 and I still lag behind and feeling stuck if I can’t still make it . Currently, I’m in (Import/Export) Trading company as Procurement Analyst.

Hope to find and a path and guidance with this community.
