thoughts of GE vs PE?

received SA offers from GE firm like Insight/TA/PSG Equity on their sourcing team but afraid will not get too much exposure on modeling and investment side of things... and potential exits.

received SA offer from PE firm like Graham Partners/silver lake on their investment teams but not sure what total comp would be like in PA/CA area

Private Equity Mock Interview

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”
