Hi,
I started my career ~4 years ago as IB analyst at a BB bank and stayed 2.5 yrs there. After the financial meltdown, the bank collapsed and I was able to find a position within the financial planning group of a Fortune 500 company. I have been there for 1.5 yrs now. This was a temporary solution while the job mkt gets better and I believe it is now good timing to come back to the street...I really want to do PE (Mid-Mkt firm is my preference).
Any comments/advice from people in this industry would be helpful.
Thanks-

Honestly, mid-market PE will still be difficult to obtain, given the number of bankers and consultants chasing these positions. Outside of the typical "network and cold-call" response, I'd suggest looking into banking and consultants positions and try to break in that way. With prior experience in IB, re-entering IB would be far less challenging than jumping straight to PE.
