Private Equity/Venture Capital/IB?

[bestbuydeejay]

Hi - Does anyone have any idea about potential jobs in the PE/VC/IB (M&A) space?

• Which city is better for this industry (Vancouver vs Toronto)? Especially in the TMT, Consumer vertical
• Who are the reputed headhunters who I should contact?
• What other job resources or websites I must follow to get leads on job offers from this industry?
• If you or anyone you know are in this field, I would like to talk to you - Please message me.

Thanks - I am planning to make a move next month.

Think you will find that VC/PE is pretty small in Canada. VC was almost non-existent 10 years ago so has grown but I imagine you have a very well compensated job. Why would you leave a job without at least another offer? Not sure it would be worth moving to Canada with the likely salary difference.

Thanks for the response. I am not too much concerned about the salary difference at the moment as I believe pay would gradually increase (hopefully). One of the reason I am moving to Canada is I did not get a visa extension in the US. I can go back to my home country (India) but then the pay would be even more drastically less due to weaker currency.

In case you have any leads or know any headhunters who could help me with the job search in this space, will be great!

Would have probably looked at Europe or Asia.

Europe is definitely an option I'd consider

If you have been working in PE or VC in the US you must have contacts in Europe.

Yes, but not many are open to sponsoring UK Work permits and hence, the challenge. And language barrier in other European countries. But you are right - I may be better off in Europe than in Canada in this field.
With Canada I'll have unrestricted work authorization with PR though.

As a Canadian, I want people to come to Canada who want to settle in Canada and contribute for the rest of their lives.
