The worst part about PE is literally never being able to off

No new deals? Guess what - there’s always more work to be done on portfolio companies

A ton of new deals? You need to understand them in and out in addition to your portfolio companies.

No new deals OR portfolio companies to work on? You could always be doing industry research or providing value add “somehow.”

I love PE because I’m continually learning about interesting industries and companies but holy fuck, I can literally NEVER turn off.
