What do you see as key differences between private v public consulting firms? Seems like a lot of boutiques have been bought by PE in the past few years and expect several will likely exit soon. Anyone have experience with how much changes post IPO?

Salary’s and benefits slide and the ability to retain talent plummets (at least in government consulting). They can make for low systematic risk investments though. Good places to deploy a couple hundred million in capital. They also loose any mystic or prestige rate boosts they used to have due to the public reporting requirements.

Been at a private partnership (albeit as a non-partner) and now at FTI (public). So I don't understand all the partnership ins and outs, but I don't see being public as a disadvantage at all. I used to think it meant less comp since you had to split earnings with equity in addition to "partners" and staff but stock also allows the firm to compensate people / make acquisitions in a way that a partnership can't. As a non-partner, I think the comp is higher at the public co because there was this implied eventual goal of making partner dangled in front of you at the private firm. All firms have ways of locking people up, not being an owner hasn't proved to be a disadvantage.

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for. I have BS degree in healthcare professions and wanted to know if 40k is too low of salary to start off as a compliance officer for a pharmacy that provides discounted medications. My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
