I have recently received an offer from BCG in London to join as a consultant. I have 4 years prior experience as a consultant at innogy consulting in Germany.
I want to ask suggestions on prospects to move into PE after few years. Would you say
- Is it feaseabile to move to PE from as project leader in consulting firms?
- What skillset would be most relevant amongst doing CFA (if so, till what level), Financial modelling, getting Due dilligence experience at cosulting or somethign else?
Are there any PEs which prefer experienced consultants?
Thanks for the advice. Does doing CFA add value to CV or help with the role?
It has predominantly 2 benefits: 1) a signal you're serious about Finance and 2) brush up your skills. It's not a requisite but it helps. The question is: is it the best value-for-effort you can do? I am afraid it's below the tips I wrote in the comment above
