Nice work by the way. I'd take the tech start up never know on those plus still keep your current salary. Way more upside. If it doesn't make it EY and PwC aren't going anywhere anytime soon so can always boomerang.

I’m pretty burned out on due diligence work, the constant ‘on-call’, but never thought I’d be able to get a role at Parthenon. Trying to figure out WLB and priorities in my life

Ended up going doing the EYP route. They offered $220k and 25k signing. Feel like some tenure here dramatically changes my exit ops. Team seemed pretty chill and I hear this group has one of the better WLB

Unicorn all day

What’s the role at unicorn? If it’s semi decent you can stay for 2 years and leverage your exp to jump to a better paying tech gig.

I don’t personally believe B4 M&A groups is good place to stay in the long term. Learning curve is flat after couple of years and pay below partner is not great for what you have to put in. Exits at levels above M starts to deteriorate. A&M gig would have the same problems except for high pay.

Agreed with all your comments. Actually feel like I’m priced out of industry at manager level already. Most roles are looking to only pay $150 with some variable bonus or equity. Only exit oops I’ve seen so far with better pay is still in consulting.

It’s Revenue Ops and Strategy, for a SaaS company, building retention and customer analytics. Very easy stuff given it’s what I do in my day to day now

like

Tech for sure

I personally am more interested in big tech with FAANG so I would probably take EY-P gig and then when you are finally ready for WLB then transition to tech.

This was my thinking as well. If you are burned out + have kids def go startup. If you don’t have kids grind out a few years at EYP and then down the road go tech.

EYP numbers are way lower than I would have guessed

Manager at S& has similar base but just under 60% bonus.

Tough part about not knowing ipo timeline is there may not be an easy path to liquidity for the shares. The equity upside is the most alluring part about the startup but if that’s 5+ years out then that’s a long time to wait

If you really like EYP, it may be better to try that for a few years before going to industry just to try it, but that being said, the tech offer seems pretty nice.

Will add on top. I think if you were ever to try EY-P, now would be the time. I doubt they would hire once you were away and left for industry so now would be the time to atleast try it and I bet after 2 years you would have even more exit opportunities.

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.
