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

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
