The Path to Private Equity Associates

I would also discourage people from operating partner at a private good fund as a job aspiration. Because it's, you'll be very hard for you to actually plan that career path. School, banking, PE, MBA, back to PE. I mean, that's pretty much that. That is not the case for the operating side of it, but for firms, very large firms that have their own consulting departments, internal ops consulting. You can go right into that after a couple years of being an operating guy inside a fund.
