About to head to the HC for a role in ProdOps and Strategy in Mountain View. 4 YoE at MBB, no competing offers. Recruiter gave me a form that asks expected comp.
Levels.fyi has only PM salaries. I haven’t been told the level but expect it to be L4.
What total comp would you expect for this role? Any advice would be super helpful, as I’m a bit lost.

If deal team is the goal, would only go for that
Its a no brainer. LMM deal team
UMM deal team
There will be MF and UMM off cycle— keep at it

Just stay and wait for on cycle deal team roles. They’ll come up. Don’t go to a value creation role if you want deal team, it is not at all the same or remotely similar
On the comp side - I'm seeing some larger shops offer a nice base salary with 50% bonus for Ops Team Associate (close to $250k). I'm at the post-mba level in consulting, and some of the small PE deal teams (e.g. $2B fund size) are offering less than my current role all-in as a first year (around $200k all in, maybe less). Assuming this isn't the norm at all though.
LMM deal team - with the hope that WLB is better too.
Coach
It is better ;) at least for me
Thanks for the feedback guys, very helpful. Sadly I have minimal transferrable skills to PE (more integrations, value creation), but still trying to finesse my way into deals side. Still doing Ops interviews as well, bc ultimately I'd rather do either over consulting lol.
^second. Frankly you can’t understand the job without having deal exp. Someone in your form probably does some CDD, find that, even just do 1 or 2 and then you can talk about those
All off cycle so not LMM (if that's what the message is implying) -l
How do you overcome “lacking” the finance / IB background to get into deal team?
That’s funny cause I wanted to include a comment in my question to say *besides working at MBB lol
