I have an interview coming up with Portage Point Partners. Currently working at EY Parthenon. Has anyone taken the interview and can help - for the Director role.
Also, is it worth moving from EYP to PPP. Pay is better but checking from an overall exit op perspective in 4-5 years

Spoke with them about 6 months ago. Unless it’s for their bankruptcy practice I wouldn’t recommend it

Reason - Your pay is based on collections not billings. The client profile is such that collections is not straight forward. Plus, what I heard is that you really have to fight for hours and proving your worth. They will show you a table where the comp looks impressive but in performance improvement, that almost never materialises

On the other hand for their turnaround/rx practice, folks regularly make $5/600k+

Can you please elaborate - I was definitely attracted by the comp. Planning to leave consulting in a few 3 years so trying to maximize comp

Have heard pretty good things overall on talent quality, growth across practices etc. Interested in hearing more from people who work there.

What service line are you coming from and interviewing for?

Don’t do it. They’re a red flag in my book.

Can you share more details on why? I understand it’s definitely a lot of long hours but other than that?

I have an interview with them as well.

The 4-days in office really makes it hard to do…

What role and service line? And where are you currently?

I have got an offer of CTC 23.25LPA +JB +RSU in Blore. And I have also got an international offer of CTC € 70000 + relocation sponsorship in a mid sized firm in Vienna, Austria.

My wife works with a CTC of 15LPA in Blore.

I am in dilemma about the option that is most suitable for me as my wife would have to quit her current job and relocate and then find another job. Is it a profitable deal to relocate to Austria?

Kindly post your opinions.
