Hi All
I'm working as a QA in a product based company and have an experience of 2.7 years in both manual and automation testing.

Is SDET a better role or a PM as a point of career growth ?

Stupid question. In the H&S salary report, are the splits by size of the fund based on the fund itself or the PE firm? For example, Blackstone has 800b+ aum but any specific fund within Blackstone manages something less like let’s say it’s a $30b fund or a new fund that’s only raised $2b so far? Would the salary report be based on the company level aum or the specific fund (even if it’s a brand new fund that hasn’t raised much within a larger firm)? My guess is the latter or somewhere between.

Hi everyone- any suggestions for interview prep guides for PE Ops roles?

I have an interview super day coming up for a PE Ops role. Only got info that it will be 6-8 interviews, mostly fit. Two questions on my mind:
1) Anything I should prepare (other than knowing their business, portfolio companies, my life story)?
2) Apparently 1-2 convos are with folks on the deal team. Should I need to brush up on my LBO and DCF knowledge?
THX!
