Bain AP1 weighing taking role as third mid-level ops hire in a new firm… 2nd fund, $2B AUM. Too risky? Wait it out in consulting for an UMM offer instead?
Pay is strong vs. Charles Aris benchmarks, FWIW.

Sounds like a great outcome. Did you find on your own or work with recruiters? Any recs?

Sounds like a great offer, but not as good as partner at Bain. If it were me, I’d ask myself if I have a good shot at partner in the next few years. If the answer is yes, I stay. If no, I leave.

$2B AUM is smallish enough to be risky, especially if it is concentreated in a few big portcos across the two funds. What is your expected total comp at AP1? Will you have any carry at the fund (I would expect zero at your level)?

475 + 1.5 DAW

Your prior response was essentially “Yes, but maybe no. OP must decide.”

I mean… that’s a bold take, Cotton.

Random headhunter reach out. Nervous about the decision tbh.

I’ll take it if you don’t want it

Considering a move in-house to NBC Universal in any litigation role (though I’d really go to wherever there is a need, whether litigation or business affairs generally). Coming from 4th year law firm litigation experience in a variety of areas but mostly data breach, e-discovery, breach of K. Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

I am thinking of leaving my stable full time job for a contract position (ongoing with no time frame) for a bigger raise (making an exra $20/hour) with a large tech company. I'll still get benefits through Aquent so it's not a huge loss. It just feels risky in terms of being a contractor and the potential for it to end at anytime. Seems like a good opportunity though to get my foot in the door and potentially apply for full time jobs later on
