Have 12Y total exp across LMM boutiques and corp dev and have landed in Energy / Infra

Weighing up a UK investing role working for a private but government owned organisation setup to be a pseudo SWF using ‘patient’ state capital - think National Wealth Fund, KfW, European Investment Bank, GB Energy, Vatenfall / Orsted (when they had more government involvement)

As long as I actually do good deals, would I still have the option of jumping to Infra and Energy PE in a few years if it doesn’t work out?

Or would the experience be discounted due to perceptions of ‘public sector’ influence being slow with red tape and not aggressive enough.

Keen to hear views from those in PE seats on how you would view applicants with this background. Cheers

At a point in my career where I have a few big directional decisions that will dictate my path for the next 6-10 years.

Don’t have anyone in my network or family in High Finance to ask for advice so I’d genuinely be willing to pay for guidance from someone with the right skillset and experience (e.g seasoned UK PE investor and also understands Portco roles in the UK).

Does such a place exist? Of course this sub is great but at some point you need more than a few bullets by an anon poster
