Thanks this is helpful

I think it depends on the PE firm, but some have a reputation of significantly cutting/limiting costs. May limit projects/opportunities not tied directly to their key goals as well culture/employee experience and benefits

So should I assume the position I'm interviewing for is essential? If so why else would they be hiring if PE got involved?

What industry is the company in?

Government technology consulting

So just had my first Amazon interview interaction the other day and its BS. I got invited to take part in the interview process by first answering a bunch of situational/case study like problems and then had to complete this long work style assessment after which they requested a call/interview only to find out the comp for the role is way below my target. Why would you make people waste so much time on your stupid assessments before asking expected salary range?!

I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.
