Take the PE role. DT will take you back in a heart beat in a few years...maybe even direct admit. Am faced with a similar situation with a PE firm with an amazing opportunity. At VP level you should have a 7 figure carry? Make sure to leave on solid terms to keep back door open.

Thanks. Mind if I ask what role/level you’re interviewing/interviewed for ? My bonus and carry are still under discussion. But would love to know what those numbers are generally like for such IT roles in a PE firm vs what deals folks get.

PE - carry is where fortunes are made, you’ll have the rest of your life to make MD. Plus, play your cards right and you could be on corporate boards.

Honestly platininon looks dull as hell. Deloitte is Deloitte - will you make partner and senior partner and earn it all that way? If not go PE.

The partner future in Platinion is hazy, but could win big if they figure it out. You need to have a serious conversation with their CEO/COO, don't jeopardize a partner track just for a MBB title!

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?
