MBB-> PE Ops: currently a Principal close to Partner and offered a PE Ops role. Cash + bonus is equivalent to Partner with carry on top. Any downsides I should be thinking about? Horror stories from others? Otherwise excited about the role

I mean... I feel like PE Ops roles are always around. Is there something particularly exciting about this one that's making you walk away right before the carrot that drives consultants? If you've seen the partner lifestyle and decided "nah, that's not for me"... Then go for it.

Yes from what I understand comp will be equivalent to better, and hours will be 50-60 with less travel

I would take it. Made a similar transition as a junior EM and I’ve been very happy

Comp is higher than MBB, and WLB usually a bit better

The problem is so many firms and performance and culture is varied. I had to leave my first firm because perf wasn’t good and I didn’t have the knowledge to catch that. I would really double click to understand how much your carry will actually be worth and find out more about firm culture

Thank you for the tips!

Congrats on the role. Can you share details on TC range and how you got the opportunity?

Ah ok so partner is more like AP at other firms

Take the offer. You cannot imagine how much happier life is working in PE Ops vs MBB/strat consulting

My personal experience has been better WLB, greater focus on outcomes and pay all better. The only caveat is MBB partner pay accelerates in a more structured well defined way.

Make the move. Consulting is a bit soft at the moment, you can always come back.

Take it! Only downside is career path is less straight forward and depending on which firm you’re going to brand might not be as strong. Congratulations!

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

I’m in a little of a pickle but a good one. Offer A. Established “start up” doing well financially and projected to hit profitability. 130k base. Stocks offered, unlimited PTO, and 70% Medical covered. Offer B. Is at a business much larger…90k salary with 10% bonus and generous stock offering. Titles are different which is why the pay is much different. I know some may think it is a no brainer but offer A allows me to grow the department ground up whereas offer B id be apart of to just different
