Currently VP (post-MBA) at AlixPartners and interested in PE ops in 3-5 years.
1) How to go about getting traction? Eg which practices should I be associated with (eg PE, TMT); which functional specializations (eg M&A, org transformation, ops)?
2) Which types of funds should I target and how to get noticed by those? I’m trending towards mega funds (eg Blackstone, KKR, Bain, Silver Lake) as I’d expect better comp, steadier demand for my work and more exciting assignments (large cap companies)
