I know this is a niche one, but what would be expected comp of a Chief Strategy Officer at a PE-backed PortCo with ~$250-300M in gross revenue? Is $600k cash + equity-based incentives realistic?

It depends on the fund but that seems a little high to me - I’ve seen ~$400-500 + incentives

This is the right answer.

When I was doing due diligence projects for PE clients I had access to the comp data and none of the execs made this much at their PortCos of this size...

I'd think realistic if moving as a fresh partner. Manager level? Unlikely.

You think 2% of their revenue is realistic as cash salary for that role? Really?

Ah yes. Sorry. Still feels quite high in terms of cash though

350-400k cash sounds about right

Why does a PE backed PortCo need a strategy lead?

Base pay rarely gets that high for mid market pe backed companies. But total comp can range pretty dramatically.

Reasonable cash = 0.1 % of lower rev range max.
Dilutable equity= what ever you negotiate. This is where you probably have most leverage.

Currently a Manager at Accenture in Public Sector. Living in a progressive US city with a few direct flights to Europe, but definitely not New York or DC. PhD in public affairs. Actually I'm on the hiring roster for a P3 role at the UN.

Considering some life choices that would keep me living where I am though. Debating if this would kill hope of global work.

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Recently joined the firm as a project delivery specialist. During recruiting, the team harped on how great my background was and how much a good fit I would be for the firm/project...

Well, I was on an onboarding call and they were talking about staffing and projects. The presenter said to reach out to them if you don’t think your project is a good fit. In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅

Any and all advice appreciated.
