PE Prestige
Hear me out. I am a girl in medical school dating a guy in finance (he claims he’s an associate at a mega fund). I dont understand the hype. He makes less money than my other guy friends in remote sales jobs and my understanding is that all he does is punch numbers into excel. Is his job impressive or should I convince him to go into sales, which seems like the more obvious path? Please no hate I just want to understand
I would say being a twitch streamer is more impressive / makes a lot more money than PE. I would reccomend he do that. Maybe you guys can do cooking streams together? XD
It’s hard to say without knowing the MF. If he’s somewhere middling (think BX, KKR, H&F), I’d probably move into the sales role.
If he’s at a top top firm like White Hawk, I’d stay. It’s nearly impossible to get on that career path.
Either way, you’re right to note that no matter how far up the MF PE ladder he climbs, the money will never be what your friends remotely selling cyber security software are making.
Hope this helps!
You are giving into WSO brainrot too much, Hawk Tuah > White Hawk for comp, exits, lifestyle, and most importantly B school placement
Is that why you were posting on wso about finance recruiting 4 years ago? Just put the paracetamol in the bag bro
I posted from my boyfriends account you moron. You’re clearly in the middle market
Your boyfriend sounds insufferable and probably brings up this “PE prestige” topic up frequently to hide his other insecurities. I’m sure he’s making good money, but none of that will fill the void of an empty hollow soul that seems to have overtaken him. I would avoid.
