If I'm ~3 years post MBA MBB and now talking to roles at Director / Snr Director in tech, should I be okay taking a Snr Assoc role at a PE fund?

Big tradeoffs between both (pros and cons). I'm quite torn what to do.... my heart and ego tells me PE but I like sleep so tech sounds better but worried about career progression in tech albeit PE promos aren't easy either....

Obviously not FAANG. No way director/sr director 3 years post MBA coming from MBB. Director means different things at different firms

Just do PE. You can always go tech after

Depends on the tech. It is a wide field and you can make a lot at the right firm

What does the pay look like at the roles in tech and PE?

Blue chip PE would beat random no-name tech firm, but FAANG dir/Sdir would beat most PE senior associate roles.
