So I’m about to graduate from an Ivy League (think Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Cornell) and I am wrapping up my 0.25 YOE in consulting (think McKinsey/Bain/BCG/West Monroe). I’ve been offered a PM position from a PE firm (Apollo/KKR/ my dad’s PE shop) with starting $250K and free housing and food. Should I negotiate for more? What are my exit ops from this?

This sounds like an unbelievable offer. Is this Grad school or Bachelors you’re graduating with?
If you think you can get significantly higher, go for it. But if not, I would accept the position and renegotiate/ fish for other offers after a years experience

You should negotiate for more TC (think golden coins, tokens, and tickets)

You should've have studied Engineering within the Ancient 8, then you could've landed a TPM role on the fast-track, earning on average 500k. That figure is on the low end of the band within the Ivy matrix. Counter.

Ditch the housing and get a nice pad. Only the oddest of ducklings do that. Don't do that.
