Good day to invest?
I completed the interview process at Verizon and got verbal offer from HR on 23rd December,2021. But I have not yet received official offer letter. I did check with HR on Jan3rd and he mentioned that they are working on my offer approval. Does it usually take this long to release offer? Is it worth waiting? Verizon

Thoughts on Nautic in RI? Comp, hours, etc.
I made this switch and have been very happy with the decision, it is quite a significant career change and is more different from consulting than I initially expected, no regrets.
Thanks. Do you mean PE ops is more lone-wolf or the other way around. And what is BAU - business as usual? What does business as usual include - portfolio company work (and what does that look like? Reporting, strategic analysis for portcos, etc.)?
I don’t think you’re missing anything, it’s a superior path to consulting unless you really like selling stuff. Also gives you a much better platform to be a PE operating executive later on, which is a really cool career path with way more upside
Thanks. LinkedIn search suggests that lateral is possible but I imagine it’s tough nonetheless.
I’m hearing pay is roughly 500-600k base + bonus - can anyone confirm

Superior job. Not missing anything.
Agree with others. Have worked closely with others in Capstone Principal roles and it’s a great gig with a path to more senior roles in KKR/Peer or key role at port co.
At the stage of career you’re at, you won’t be able to pivot to deal team after becoming a principal at KKR capstone. Either try for investing roles right now or just go to KKR capstone. I think it’s way cooler and better (much bigger upside) of a career path than Partner at consulting firm.
My personal view is there is more upside via deal / investment professional route, this is where traditionally most want to land when they move over to PE but to do so really commands an IB skillset to be taken seriously at a Megafund… in my experience buyside does not really value the transaction modeling experience consultants get, whether right or wrong.. now the more “interesting” work probably lies in portco/fund strategy and ops.. a lot of folks in IB/PE eventually want to be C-suite execs and view the ops experience as more relevant business experience than strictly sourcing / executing investments.. there are hybrid roles out there but megafunds enable more structure down one path or another.. I tend to think being a services provider (consulting) only gets you so far, versus a sponsor (owner/operator/investor).. fine though if committed to being in consulting long term
