Does only working on sell-side mandates impair your chances of moving to PE?
Hi,
For PE exits is it better to provide advise for the sell-side or buy-side or does it not matter at all? My consideration stems from an opportunity to work for a boutique bank which mostly does sell-side advise given that it does not have financing capabilities.
My inital consideration was that for sell-side mandates you'd be better positioned to know aboutt he process but lack some of the thinking required from an investor's perspective.
Many thanks for all replies/thoughts
Hi Peter Schaffhausen, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
Any thoughts?
Just do deals and don't worry.
No, I worked at a MM that mainly focused on sell-sides and honestly the exit opps to PE were great.
The main reason for this is that as a sell adviser, you're more likely going to actually close the deal, than you would advising on the buy-side. So, you'll probably have more transactional experience to be able to talk about during a PE interview.
And you'll still get a lot of investor interaction, through conference calls, management presentations and the due diligence process.
