Thinking of turning down a Google offer. 15 YO overall (5 year PgM exp), been a TVC at Google for 2 years doing the role I interviewed for (no direct conversation anymore, so I went though the full interview process). I got leveled at L4 (guessing interviews didn’t go that well) and the comp has been a bit underwhelming. WDYT fishes?
Base - 155k, Equity: 132k, bonus: 15%, Bay Area, PgM role
Down-leveled when I first joined consulting because I didn’t go to b-school and happens a lot. Sigh.
Mentor
Quite frequent to PE. Less common to HF although still happens. Nobody wants to go to wall street.
Really depends on tenure. Much easier to PE as an associate (pre-mba).
Following, considering exiting to IBD. Is that terribly difficult?
Unless you have dealwork experience, moving from MBB to PE/GE/HF investment team is extremely difficult, especially post-MBA. PE Ops teams are the most common exit for MBB folks, if at all. I agree that most ex-consultants have zero desire to go to Wall Street...
