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

I referred someone I truly see potential in and have also helped him with resume and casing. And he didn't even get invited for an interview. He stayed optimistic and passionate about the job, and asked me again for advice about reapplying this year. I don't know what to advice him. His resume looks good but didn't even get a chance for interview

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?
