Working for Private Equity and Investing in another. Conflict of Interest/NDA Issues?
Throwaway account just to be on the safe side. I am familiar with the follies of asking for legal advice from strangers on the internet, but I figured I’d just get this out here in case anyone else might run into the same question in the future.

Let’s say you got offered a job to work for PE firm A, but are well connected with PE firm B because you’ve done deals/have ongoing deals as an LP. Would signing on to work for PE firm A exclude you from investing your personal money into PE firm B? Would having access to confidential information from PE firm B cause a competitive disadvantage and inadvertently breach your NDA with them now that you will work for PE firm A?
