Career Resources
Respectfully I don’t think your friends opinions that you would “crush it” in PE are a very good litmus test. If you wanted a career in IB you need to fully devote yourself to the idea, like 2 years ago. I would say you have a better chance lateraling into AM or PWM at this point but you need to really decide what it is you are trying to do, make a plan, and execute. No one in this forum can tell you what you should do unfortunately.

Lol, I'd love to switch places with you. Investment banking sucks. Unfortunately, it won't be an easy pivot for you. Timing is terrible and you've already graduated.
It's less about it being difficult with your background and more about how bad of an environment we are in right now.
I won’t comment on the actual decision to try for PE because like others have said, only you can decide if it’s right for your career. Also would take what your friends are saying very lightly about your ability to switch from literally zero applicable experience to “crushing PE”, maybe “getting crushed” is the right term if you can somehow break in. Normally I’d say you have no shot but Army Vets are essentially the new diversity hire. You can have literally zero applicable experience and get hired over someone qualified so you may as well at least try.

Relax, soldier. You wanted answers and the only legitimate answer is every single try hard from every business program wants a spot in PE. They are younger and likely have better credentials than you. They’ve also been prepping for 4 years in undergrad like psychos. Here are your 3 options: Join Banking, Join Consulting, or find another firm that’s previously hired Vets and get pipelined in ahead of candidates with actual quality grades and experience. Those are your realistic options.
bro worry about first getting a FT IB offer than you already projecting being in PE or IB long term. Yes, you will work long hours, do you need validation from college students that it will be okay ? The market is extremely tough right now and your role wont be competent vs laid off IB analysts / those who did not get return offers.
