If you already have Big4 on your resume, that matters more than Blackstone. I've also noticed Blackstone pay is really bad here in NYC for back office roles, and I've heard the hours and culture is terrible

Can confirm hours are bad, pay is not that bad. Many in my group exit to Blackstone.

Yes they pay you in prestige, if that’s what you want.

I’ve worked for them, pay is reasonable and hours are only bad during quarter ends and YE. Otherwise, it’s not that bad. Also, very prestigious if you want to make it in that industry.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes.

How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
