Thanks P1. The firm is a top EU boutique for procurement and supply chain and more than 50% of their work comes from PE houses. Culture seems to be good - given reviews on glassdoor and people I’ve reached out to separately

Given the goal of getting into PE OPs role, it seems like making the jump is almost a no brainer.
However, what firm is this OP? It would highly depend on the firm and their go-to-market strategy. If their current and focus pipeline is PE companies, it makes perfect sense for you to make the move. If the client base is not PE company, then I would look at the split between their strategy/implementation projects. If they are mostly implementation, even then I would recommend to jump given the 60% jump. Although just make sure the culture isn’t toxic/high churn. Usually smaller firms that pay really high, have a high churn rate.

I’ve been recruited for PE Ops roles - recruiters look for past experience working with portcos, and are interested in more strategy experience. If you want to do a boutique, look at Blue Ridge Partners

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Hi, I have a 2 part question:

I did a “meet the team” interview 2 weeks ago and now the hiring manager set up a call on Tuesday. Is it safe to assume that’s a call to extend an offer?

If that’s a reasonable assumption, could I let another company (finished interviews last Friday) know ahead of time on Monday that I’m expecting an offer in the hopes of speeding up their decision making?
