Small/mid cap private equity offer or tiers 2 M&A advisory Consulting company offer
Dear all,
I am a female professional working in finance for almost 2/3 years with extensive experience in deals (TMT and infrastructure/real estate focused) in corporate M&A, Transaction Services, and 3 years of tech entrepreneurship before joining the finance road. (So started to be quiet old in the market).
After my departure from transaction services, I tried to break into private equity and I got two offers:
1/ Small/mid-cap private equity with 4 verticals (consumer goods, TMT, healthcare, and industrials) (fixed-term contract for an analyst/senior analyst position).
2/ Tiers 2 M&A TMT advisory firm for commercial due diligence and tech due diligence. The firm is quite unique as they are trying to launch their new offices in France and they are already well established in other European countries. (long term contract for a senior consultant position). Between infrastructure/real estate and TMT, I finally choose the TMT practice as I thought it is much more fun than infrastructure/real estate, and I already launched two tech startups, so I know better this industry. Even if regarding the IRR, infrastructure/real estate is a much better asset than TMT.
My ultimate goal is either to go to TMT private equity, either to launch my own tech companies, the best scenario is doing both. The two offers seem to be interesting, as, for the first role, I can directly go to my ultimate role but as the contract is fixed-term so I could be laid off after the period of my contract, whereas the second offer could be a way to join my interest between entrepreneurship and tech and obviously have a long-term contract, but I no longer working in finance as I only doing commercial and tech due diligence and no finance due diligence as I did before in transaction services department.
What would be your suggestion?
Thank you!
How long is the fixed term contract?
It seems you kind of answered your own question. Yes, there is risk having a fixed contract but if you do well then you may be there longer. Plus you'll get more exposure to diligencing and seeing how a business operates which should help inform your own entrepreneurial desires. That could come in handy if you were to buy a small tech business vs starting one from complete scratch. Seeing business models in different verticals never hurts either.
The only reason you would do option 2 is if you value stability in my opinion.
