Is it worth my time?

Lol this is not PE

Good to know

No, it’s not PE unless you work on the actual deal team or PE Ops teams for the fund. You’d just be a regular w-2 employee slotting jnto a role

like

Yes W-2 from employment status. But No because the Ops team is employed by the fund not the port co. Meaning the Ops team moves from portco to portco. Versus the role OP is describing is just a straight up working for the company bought/ owned by fund.

What does worth my time mean? What are your career goals?

I honestly never planned to or really want to do PE, they reached out to me and I am trying to learn more

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO). I originally applied for their core practice but the recruiter convinced me that since I’m coming from a financial services audit background, I’d be better suited for their FSO practice. Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best.

It seems odd to me

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized. Now I'm being called for another position which I applied through the same recruiter before for the same group but different role.
