Directionally what is your end goal? Just work backwards and ask yourself if this role will help me get there. Easy to move for more money but how is it advancing your skills to get you closer to that end goal. What is the reason to switch to Associate Ops role vs continuing down the consulting track?

What do future carry opportunities look like at the PE gig?
