Hello OW 🐟:
I have an interview scheduled for Senior consultant position (Private Capital practice - London office)
Can anyone share the insights on the below mentioned things:
1 - Compensation and other perks
2 - WLB (hours)
3 - types of projects (CDDs only?)
4 - Is it possible to switch from PE practice to generalist in case of burn out? I love this type of work but still I believe in long run it will not be sustainable.
5 - Should I expect only PE cases in interview?

PSA for dog owners with Amazon Prime: Amazon are currently doing a £10/$12 'Sample Box' full of doggy food & treats - and after it's delivered you get the price refunded as credit for further pet spending. Mine arrived yesterday and it's fabulous! (UK link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073ZJ7KN5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kBHUzb3YVMC63)
I currently work for carvana and these cars move so you might be in the right field if sales and cars get you going. I myself having worked PLS Logistics for a year, after 6 years at Verizon wireless sales, after 2 years of collections, 3 years of Marriott hotel sales, and now 1 year at carvana (as well as countless meaningless jobs between), my advice is find a job with good benefits. I make more after 1 year and a promotion with carvana vs 3 years and a single promotion at Marriott.
The pandemic actually benefited me in terms of career. My benefits cost 1/3 what I was paying at Marriott and I get better/more benefits with carvana. It took a bunch of bounces but I think I found my place here.
My point is, it's not always about the money. Find a job with good benefits too. I'm on short term disability for a few months because I was in a car accident that I didn't cause. Benefits are keeping me floating. The pay is decent.
Someone has to manage inventory at each location. That's where I come in for my location. I don't sell at my level but there is a level that does. Not everything traded in catches the eye. It still has to go though.
If your HR job gave you experience in talent acquisition you should look into the staffing industry. The big firms hire new recruiters all the time and have good training programs.
The problem with the big firms is they have high turnover, if you aren't hitting your activity targets or sales targets they will let you go pretty quickly.
But if you are really good at it you can work there a few years, then transition to a boutique firm that offers a more lucrative commission structure.
I'd start with companies like Robert Half, Aerotek, Adecco, Manpower, Randstad and Express Employment.
The hardest part of sales and the most important part of sales is prospecting. If you call cold call and stay positive in the midsts of rejection you can make 6 figures easily.

- prospecting
- coachable
I would also encourage you to look into home services sales. There is sunroom company who’s reps make over $200k. The industry is booming and they need reliable people.
Get into software sales. Enterprise reps with 10 years of experience make $300k+. Even starting out, you’ll find salaries over $100k, and you can climb quickly. 1 years as a top performer as an SMB rep, move to MM, then you’re on your way ti enterprise. Good luck!
I was skeptical before coming into the financial services industry myself. I had just started once the pandemic hit. Now I'm at a place where I can say we are 100% pandemic proof. Great high income. I have been able to make more money than I did when I first got started in my career. I love making a difference in people's life and the money is just a bi-product of it. Very high pay.
No I'm not here to recruit, but if someone is interested I would love to share the opportunity.
