Love this bonus package

I left PE DD consulting and went to a MM PE portco. We were sold to a MF PE fund.

1. PE value creation team, preferably UMM fund
2. VP, Strategy & Corporate Development
3. Pay in my world is usually $250-275K base, 30-40% bonus and $1.2-2M in profit interests that vest but only exercise at sale, with a varying amount that is triggered at higher MOIC’s.
4. It’s not a straight, linear path, (lots of bumps along the way) but it’s going the right way.

like

1. PE or strategy/M&A consulting
2. Head of CD in a PE-backed tech company
3. 120k base + 15% bonus + equity (Europe-based)
4. Pretty happy so far - 4th similar role with each being a step up from the last - lots of autonomy and variety in day-to-day work and always learning a lot. Similar to CDM1 above in that I get pulled into other things a lot as well so good exposure to wider company work

smart


1. Start my own company
2. Sr. Associate CD
3. 140k base + 10% bonus
4. I am ok for now. I have 6 yrs of experience and the best part is that work is different every week.
