Any advice on how to get in touch with PE shops? I’ve been reaching out to PE headhunters on LI but low to no response. I’ve got ~9 YOE in Consulting and looking for an Ops role.

Most PE roles are sourced 100% though headhunters. If you want a VP-level Ops offer your best bet is to get connected with the key firms

I got headhunted for a VP level ops role by a headhunter. These roles are not online.

If you are not getting this outreach, you need to find the headhunters and be proactive or scour your network and be proactive.

From my experience this path might make more sense. Headhunters are definitely the gatekeepers in PE but I’ve never had luck through them as I don’t have a traditional cookie cutter profile. Years ago when I was trying to make it into PE though I networked directly with funds and got referred into a few processes.

Hi, I’m looking to make a move from my current position and was curious to see what role and level I’d be best placed in and the salary I might be worth in Big4?

I have 2 YOE in accounting working across AU and US requirements and 1 YOE in finance ERP implementation consulting. A total of 3 YOE. I’m currently at 130k and work 40-45 hours a week at most - these are things I wish to maintain but am afraid I’m being unrealistic given my level of experience. Any insight will be great, thank you.

Any interview tips for a manager role? I'm coming from a smaller consulting firm with a lot of experience filling prominent interim executive positions at large well known health systems.

The manager role at this company is two levels below partner (with only sr. Manager in between). Thoughts?

I am having offers from

EY India
Synechron
Altimetrik Corp.

The offer from EY India is very less and my joining is on 16th. I do not think negotiation will work at this point. Synechron & Altimetrik is offering far better pay than EY India. The difference is Close to 5L. Can anybody through some light here. I have a YOE of 4Y and tech stack- Java/MS/ React. EY is offering 10.5 fixed.

PS: For some reason, my heart is still says EY i don't know why :(
