How successfully do buyout Associates recruit into the startup scene?

Im a pre-MBA associate at BCG with diligence experience and a strong interest in PE. However, knowing myself, I think I will eventually want to end up in an early stage operating role.

Ideally, I would love go through a buyout shop’s Associate program to round out my skillset, but sometimes I wonder if a.) those skills will even translate to a startup and b.) I should consider a more direct path.

Would love some perspective

Hi all! I’m inclined on taking up the CIPM training and certification exam. I’m already a certified Data Protection Officer in the Philippines. I intend on skipping CIPP as it applies to the US and EU.

How difficult was the exam? Can you share your experience studying for the CIPM exam? Is it advisable to skip CIPP?

Many thanks in advance.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:

RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?
