Ok. Want some advice. I took a PgM role at a cool start up a few months back. Role is goodish (40-45 hours) and comp is decent for the hours worked. I’m struggling trying to figure out where I go after this because post IPO or buy out this role will very quickly lose value within the company and I’d likely be part of a RIF. So want to know how someone could spin a PgM role to get back into consulting say within 18months of leaving?

I also couldn’t stand the passive aggressive attitude from PwC MC and TC leaders. I was like honestly if you’re project can’t afford to staff me at 50 / week then why staff me.

IPO may not happen soon, number of IPOs in 2022 dropped 55%+ YOY. Buyout is possible, do you have stock options in the start up? If yes, both scenarios mean payout for you, otherwise see how well the company is doing and keep looking for a stable company

In that case, stay. Seems like they are doing fine.
