I have an initial recruiter phone interview with Square Thursday. Is it it just a phone call or is it a video call and they didn’t specify. If it’s a video call what’s the dress code like? I’m coming from consulting so all my interviews were in suits. Any tips to get past the recruiter phone screen?
Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

Do you want to be in PE, or not?
Op check out the private equity and the buyside bowl. They talk about their hours there and they’re bad the whole time lol. Maybe lmm is better
Go to PE. If you want to you can always join mbb again as an associate. Plus with that skillset making EM should be easier for longevity
All the senior people are saying the same thing - the window for PE is now. You can always go back to MBB, but likely won’t get another shot at PE.
Even a no name firm shows you understand the investing.
PE for reasons above. Possible to try it out now and do MBB later. Inverse is not possible
Agree with A1. You can move into PE later from MBB if you want (and often bypass the brutal PE entry level role). But tough to go the other way around.
Congrats on having both offers!
Uh, not really. You need pre-MBA investing experience to land an investing role out of MBA or after a more senior level at MBB.
For MBB folks at post-MBA levels, PE Ops is usually the end destination. Whether by availability or choice.
Agree with Principal 1 and Consultant 3. Go to PE a now if you’re remotely interested in it. My friend’s dad is head of a very well known PE fund and even said the same thing, fwiw.
In the short term go to MBB. It sounds like you have the skillset to transition to PE at some point but MBB will open up many more doors from you and with a higher base and a more extensive network. It’s a no-brainer!
It’s very very very difficult to transition to PE on the investing side later in the career.
PE. Agree w others saying going Mbb to PE Wil be much harder than other way around. Many MBBers do it just for opp to pivot to PE
