Is it even possible or worth it to jump from FAANG to Private Equity
I have a good friend in growth PE specifically tech sector (SaaS portfolio) at a smaller scale boutique. He works a lot but the work interests me and I’m ready to depart FAANG (at google right now).
Any idea if it’s possible to jump into PE without IB background - and if so, how do you even get into interviews for firms if they aren’t on job boards lol
Thanks in advance

What about the other way around? Joining a MF PE firm focused on tech, but thinking of switching to FAANG.
Analyst 1's path is reasonable (far less rigid to go to FAANG, in spite of hiring headwinds). CMHS' path is a steep uphill battle. As many other posts recount, IB and MBB are the main paths to PE (investment team) given the financial training required for PE (that is likely absent from FAANG). If you can get a referral from your friend (into his shop), great, but I think you'll otherwise struggle to attract looks from recruiters who gatekeep most traditional associate recruiting.
