Agreed. It's not because you can't necessarily excel in a stock-picking role; it's just that there's less of a need for your skills in public equities, simply because companies are so limited in what they disclose. People look at your resume and think you're good with fishing through a litany of numbers...perfect for PE and VC valuation jobs because these companies (especially PE) have access to investment opportunities where there is no shortage of spreadsheets or documents containing numbers that you have to figure out whether they're legit or fake.
