VC vs PE

in summary :

It depends on your goals – if you're trying to make the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time possible, PE is better.

If you're from a pure finance background and you like the work and transaction experience you get in banking, PE is better.

If you're more interested in starting your own company one day, you prefer relationships to analysis, or you want a better work-life balance, VC is better.
