I am currently a commercial finance professional, 8 years experience at matriculation in 2025. Broad finance experience across technical accounting, FP&A, acquisitions, finance transformation and commercial finance. Currently lead global pricing strategy and liaise with the PE company operating partners on initiative development. The companies I've worked at are across a variety of sectors but always on the service side (ie labour intensive) of that sector, and almost all have been PE-backed portfolio companies.

CA and CFA Charterholder with Master of Economics with 6.7/7.0 GPA. Had a bit of a hiccup in my 2nd year of undergrad. I got the personal issue sorted and switched majors from law to accounting, but it hurt the GPA.

Heavily involved in the community. 2 years on a CA subsidiary board, VP of local branch of a major Australian political party, tutored CFA candidates for 2.5 years with a reputable 3rd part provider, and am on the Events Committee at work. Also founded a wine club in my neighbourhood with 30 members and sail in summer.

Short-term goal is consulting in the private equity practice. Long-term goal is to return to Australia after a stint in the US (to learn from the scale) and join a PE Ops group as an operating partner or as an executive at a portfolio company.

I'm a recent graduate (22M) from a Tier 1 engineering institute in India with a T15 deferred MBA admit, but I plan to apply to M7 schools again (I got 4 M7 interview invites, including S, but no admits) after 2/3 years, and I was wondering what I should do in the workspace to improve my profile.

I think the major thing that could've gotten me dinged is that I wrote about wanting to get into VC without having an IB experience. Currently, I work at an SME FinTech firm and am looking at IB roles, but I haven't been very successful. Any tips would be appreciated.
