PE Deal team > PE Ops (value creation) > Consulting. That said, base salary is probably fairly similar, PE deal team really pulls away because of carry

Weirdly yes. It’s been a very painful year but I learned a lot and am now interviewing for 9-5 hedge fund jobs that wouldn’t have interviewed me a year ago. Seems like PE is good if you come for 1 or 5+ years

PE Ops can match PE deal team depending on firm. As folks stated, some firms do provide competitive carry. I personally wouldn't have left McK otherwise.

In terms of WLB, I'd still say I definitely have much better WLB than in McK. Avg ~50-55hrs / week. The stress is also very different. Being on the buy side is very different than sell side dynamics in consulting. The ownership, partnership / collaboration and timelines pressures are vastly different - at least in my experience. Travel is also very different, instead of being imposed it all depends on where and when you can drive the most value. Feel greater autonomy here than in consulting, espc at EM and below levels.
