About to have my annual review after a really successful year of working in PE. Some context:
-
My boss loves me and has been a great mentor to me,
-
I have recently been killing it at company-wide presentations, I think I have publicly established myself as someone of value,
-
I am in portfolio management for a multi billion (USD) fund, despite this I interface directly with a lot of our investors handling relationships with HNW clients... we are a small company so there is a degree of flexibility in what we do
-
I work in a small company that is growing fast, I could see myself working here 5 years potentially
-
I am young, I will apply to B school soon
I want to ask my boss for more responsibility:
-
adding some of our social impact funds to my umbrella (handled by totally different portfolio managers who have expressed need for future help)
-
becoming more deeply involved with our capital markets team that handles institutional relationships (manager has also has expressed need for help from me specifically)
I am absolutely ambitious and capable but I can understand pushback since these are a lot of things to be doing at once, what would you tell me as my boss?
