PE firm won’t let me start early
Hi all
not sure if this is the right forum, but I finish a PE analyst gig in April (left a month early because I had to get a major surgery and it didn’t make sense to be out for a month then come back for like 2 days)
I am lateraling to another PE firm for associate role (smaller, more interesting vertical to me) however they aren’t letting me start till mid September
I’m wondering if down the road this employment gap (May - August) may be seen as a red flag to prospective employers, or if it’s something they’d let me explain during interviews. Would it be worth asking the new firm to let me start end of august or does it not matter that much?
thanks!
No it doesn't matter and no one will even question it. Lots of people finishing BB analyst gigs take the summer off, you're basically a month longer but just say your program ended earlier. No sweat and enjoy your last few weeks
Eventually your resume will be 2020-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-Current, etc.
So no, it doesn’t matter at all.
As long as you're sure they'll let you start it's all good, no one will even care about 3 months. The only risk I can see is if they yank your offer last minute and suddenly you're looking for a job from scratch while already unemployed for several months - sadly happened to a friend of mine and really screwed him over. But honestly I would say enjoy this extended holiday, might be your last for a while.
