Capital structure is mostly irrelevant. Private firm can maybe be a bit more long term in its thinking. But then again many private firms have failed having made such long term bets that didn’t go well

Having worked for both public and private consulting firms I view private firms as being more lenient on the shorter term for employees and partners. Public companies are much more focused on quarter to quarter where I find partnerships are more annually focused. Sure there are some quarterly targets set but the ultimate focus is total year end results. Not so in a public company.

Finally, leadership does not make knee jerk reactions to activist investors that can sometimes cause irreparable harm to a company

Having worked for both public and private consulting firms:
public company - tons of red tape, scrutiny and very cheap on expenses
Private company - more latitude to invest in employee happiness

I am joining citi office Pune, do they give 15 days accommodation and traveling reimbursement, till I search residence for myself?

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
