Interviewing for a operational advisory associate position at a mid-market PE company based out of Florida. All-in pay is looking like $200k (for reference, it’s what I currently make as a senior associate)

Anyone have experience working at a strategy consulting firm and moving to a PE advisory group? Any pros or cons you can call-out?

I’m not but have done a ton of portco engagements where we are hired by/work with portco ops.

My perspective is it is a great opportunity to become a bit more experienced in certain industries if the fund specializes in a few. Hopefully carry potential down the line even if it isn’t what the deal team gets.

Con is the wlb appears to be pretty similar to mine, which is to say not good.

Is this a portfolio ops role?

Yes. I’d be joining a team of 6 (most with stellar backgrounds) and I’d be the only associate
