About
How this board is built.
BuildSide lists operating seats at high-growth US companies for people leaving investment banking, private equity and consulting. Everything on it is read from the employer’s own job board, every weekday.
Where the roles come from
Public applicant-tracking feeds, read directly: Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby. Those are the same JSON endpoints an employer publishes so their openings can be syndicated, which means a posting here is the posting the company wrote, with the link going to their own application form rather than through us.
Nothing is scraped from LinkedIn or X, and no paid data source sits behind any of it. If a company’s board is not public, the company is not on here.
What gets left out
Most of what those feeds contain. A company’s board carries engineering, sales, support and everything else; this board carries 13 kinds of seat: Chief of Staff, Founder's Associate, Strategy & Operations / BizOps, Corporate Development, Strategic Finance / FP&A, Business Development / Partnerships, Revenue Operations, Product Operations, General Manager / Business Lead, Special Projects / Strategic Initiatives, Launch / Customer Operations, Data & Analytics (operating) and Product / GM hybrid.
On top of that, some titles look like operating roles and are not. A quota-carrying sales seat wearing a “partnerships” title, a channel or alliance role, customer success, recruiting, anything gated behind a security clearance or a professional licence, and internships all come off automatically. So does any role that is not open to someone in the United States.
What we never do
- Never estimate pay. A salary figure here is a range the employer published. Where a posting gives no range, the field is blank — never filled with a guess, a market average, or a number from a similar role.
- Never invent a company fact. No funding stage, investor list or headcount is asserted unless it came from the company itself.
- Never leave a dead posting up as if it were open. See below.
How fresh it is
Every board is re-read once a day. A role that has come off the employer’s board is closed here the same day, and its page says so rather than quietly disappearing. A fetch that fails never closes anything: if a company’s board is briefly unreachable, their roles stay exactly as they were until it answers again, because the alternative is deleting live jobs during somebody else’s outage.
A board that stops existing altogether retires itself after three consecutive failures, so the list is not padded with companies that no longer publish.
Right now that comes to 1,022 open roles at 386 companies. Browse them, or see what they pay.
What the email is for
The board is free to read in full without one. An email unlocks the posted pay figures and gets you the new roles as they appear. It is not sold, and it is not used for anything else.
Getting it wrong
A classifier that reads job descriptions will misread some of them. A role filed under the wrong category, a seniority band that does not match the posting, a seat that should never have been here — those happen, and they are worth telling us about. The underlying posting always wins: the apply link goes to the employer, and what they say there is the record.
