I have the opportunity to exit to a Product Manager role at a PE-backed software company (noname co w ~$5-10B rev). Pay is at $150k base. Seems like an interesting industry. However, I kind of just stumbled on this and am apprehensive about leaving BCG after just a year out of undergrad. I’m also unsure how stock grants play out when working for a portco. Does anyone have advice for how to think about my next move?

I think you take it. You can always go back to BCG. Also 150k is enough to cover the unknown of promotions and stuff like that

Thanks for sharing :)

I would absolutely take that at a year out of undergrad. Seems like a really cool opportunity that will open doors. You could move to product manager roles at more established tech firms, switch functions within tech, or go back to consulting.

It would be a >50% raise but comp at BCG grows fast and is very predictable.

PE backed companies always make me cautious. Those guys always want to cut SGA, I’m sure you have seen that on PE clients

Anyone interviewing with Frontdoor for a Strategy role?

Prior to the interviews, I felt I needed more experience …. Lol. Anyone else felt the same?
