So many finance hopefuls dream of a career in Private Equity. But what do you actually DO during your internship, starting out as a full-time Analyst, or as an Associate? How do those roles differ at a mega fund vs. a smaller firm? Are there advantages to starting out in Private Equity vs. doing a tour of duty at an Investment Bank or MBB consulting firm?
We sat down with Karina Petrunova, a current Private Equity Associate at Charles Thayne Capital, a lower middle market fund with a software & technology focus, to learn about her path to Private Equity. She shares the specific steps she took to secure her first Wall Street internship during her sophomore year, her junior year internship, and ultimately her role at Vista Equity (a $100bn+ mega fund) out of undergrad. Karina shares insight into the practices that made her a successful intern, analyst, and associate, as well as into her decision making process behind why she chose the firms she did.
If you are considering a career in Private Equity, or want to understand the journey that your friends and loved ones in the industry may be on, this episode is a MUST listen.
