PE Resume for Other Roles… and Consulting
• Any deal-based role (smaller bank, corporate development,
mezzanine, other PE firm, real estate, etc.) will be similar – but you
should, in theory, have more real deal experience to write about
• Consulting is tricky because most client engagements tend to
focus on operations, not deals or finance
• Strategy #1: Spin operational projects by linking them to financial
metrics or to the company’s share price, investor reactions, etc.
• Strategy #2: Pick projects with direct relevancy, like market sizing
in due diligence, M&A integration, expansions or add-ons, etc.
