Tough break OP, maybe you should have said please

Looks like you trolls don’t work in M&A. If you do and don’t know, I’d suggest you bookmark this - these are indicators of the health of your practice, work-life expectations, market competitiveness. I will find out during all my interviews anyway. Nothing “top secret.” Just thought I’d save my time and the interviewers....unless you think setting aside senior leadership billable hours for me to ferret this out from you slowly but surely through the 6-9 interviews we’ll both go through is productive use of all our time. For those of you in M&A but wallowing in ignorance, maybe if you had a pulse of these things prior to signing up, you wouldn’t be griping so “extra” about hoe terrible your teams are, how b*tchy your bosses are, how overworked, and underpaid you are. Follow my reasoning?

I don’t think OP understands, this reminds me of the angieslist commercials where the person is asking their neighbors for a bunch of unreasonable stuff. Anyone?

Fellow Fishbowlers,
Need to discuss an offer I got from MasterCard for Director of Product, based in Pune, India. Below are my details:
I am a multiple time founder, ran my company for 4 years, a self funded startup, so no concept of salary. My last CTC with a US based firm as a consultant was USD 96000 until Jan 2021 (I was residing in India).
I have an offer in hand from a startup for 90 LPA + 1Cr worth of ESOPs.
What number should I start with and what should I really expect? Thanks much.

Hi everyone,

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."
