Chris breaks down the mass departure of mid-level talent from major private equity firms as employees finally realize the big payouts they were promised may never materialize. With firms unable to offload overpriced portfolio companies, carried interest evaporating, and valuations stuck in fantasy land, the golden handcuffs have turned to rust. If you’re trapped in an illiquid PE investment, Chris explains what’s coming next — and how to get help before things get worse.
