Quick question for everyone here. I am currently a senior associate at a big 4 firm. I have recently received an offer from Blackstone for an operations strategy role. I have only been in my role for 2 months. Blackstone’s offer is around a 15% comp increase. Would it look bad on my resume for me to leave two months into this role? Also, if anyone is on the operations side of PE, could you share your experience? Thanks!

What’s the comp? 15% increase on 200k base is big, 15% increase on 80k isn’t worth it

like

28k is significant, that’s ~$2300 a month or rent in most real cities. I think you’re justified as long as it’s in line with your career goals and you can spin it. NOTE: this is a one shot gun, change once like this you can explain it away, twice and you’re starting to look bad. Make sure you’re 100% confident this is the move and you’re ok staying in that role for 2+ years

uplifting

No it wouldn’t look bad if you just remove the 2mo role from your resume and change the dates for this one. But usually to switch roles it makes sense to do so for at least 30% but maybe this is up 30% or more over your role 2-3mo ago? The only reason to settle for less is if this helps you develop a skill set you believe is beneficial to your career long term.

Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
