Can someone explain what sort of transformation experience would help in moving to PE Ops? Or speak more broadly on how that relates to managing portcos?

The whole point of PE Ops is to increase the profitability of PortCos. They do this a variety of ways including:

- Org / People
- Cost reduction (procurement, ops, etc.)
- Growth (incl. pricing, mix, new products, sales force effectiveness, where to play, how to win)
- M&A

In general any project where you started by saying "we're going to improve profits by X" and then you did the work and at the end profits actually improved by X

portco perf reporting is all about bottom line/EBITDA improvement. anything that helps do that quickly and as visibly as possible is what they want. dont use words like transformation because its bs and everyone knows it.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
