Anybody know what type of exit opps FDD SMs/directors typically leave for? I haven’t seen any leave voluntarily at that level so just curious what type of non-FDD gigs are available at that level without taking a paycut.

If you’re not leaving to a competitor or failing out- most exits are to the #1 or #2 finance / accounting roles at PE portcos. The firms do have some handcuffs on you based on cash comp - but these kinds of exits come with potentially massive equity upsides if you pick wisely and have some risk tolerance. Was across the table from a former big4 FDD guy (40ish) in a CFO role that was looking at a 20m pay day out of the deal earlier this summer.

Should I negotiate for an entry level software engineering position if I have no prior internships/SWE job experience?

I haven't gotten an official written offer yet, but after giving a salary range of what I'm looking for, the recruiter said that the typical salary is about 5-10k higher than what I said, so I'm not sure if I should even negotiate if the average salary is already higher than what I said I'm looking for. Any advice and tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you!
