PE Operations/ Consulting is a more logical route

Leaving for PE ops role after 5 1/2 years. I think upgrade in pay is on a person by person basis. Significantly more for me

Anyone heard of Cerberus yet? How is their pay? Probably not worth moving from T1/2 strategy consulting to their consulting Arm right?

Dir which PEs would you see an upgrade in pay even in the operations / consulting teams?

yes.

Any tips on that would be appreciated.

@D1 - What is the best level to leave for PE Ops role, and how does it affect pay? For instance, is it best to have a certain # of years experience in consulting or a certain title to break into PE?

@Accenture1. If you don't mind sharing what level were you (SA, Manager, etc.) And what level did you go to at your new place? Trying to understand what's comparable

Technically Consultant level on track to getting promoted to Manager in December, just missed June cut. I’m becoming an Operating Finance Director. I was a relatively expensive consultant here. I had to weigh in all of the things that’d I’d miss out on/aren’t offered at the new firm. In the end they got to an offer I couldn’t refuse
