Question to the partners / MDs here. Was it worth it? Do you regret not moving industry when you had a chance (if you did)? Are there any exit opportunities once you pass director?

I mean it’s so hard to know. I know a guy who left Big4 as a manager. Went to industry. Rose up the ranks. Became CFO of an industry company. Took the company public. Was the CFO of a public ally traded company for like 6 years. Company took a turn and he and the CEO got fired. Now they founded their own private investment firm.

So it worked out and he made a fortune (relatively speaking) - but had he stayed and made partner he still might say “oh yeah it’s worth it to stay” bc he wouldn’t be able to know that he would’ve otherwise made a fortune

Got you, and cheers for sharing that. I mean I’m interested in hearing a view from a partner as well. I feel like sometimes there’s no transparency over what kind of compensation they get, as well as exit opportunities once you are past Director. I think that’s something that should be more transparent, and helps a bit in the decision to stay long term or not

Obviously, most of them are going to say it’s worth it since they made it to partner.

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.
