PwC India Hi Folks, I left my stable job at Deloitte USI and moved to Germany for a better job. But my mom had a major health issue and I'm planning to travel back to India to support her as I'm a single child. I'm working in one of the top organisation in Germany with a base of 90k euro and looking for good opportunities in India.

I wouldn’t ask what’s the better career track, but what are you better at / enjoy - do you want to do the sales required of a partner role in consulting or do you want to be an operator?
IMO these are two different skill sets with different exit opportunities if you decide to move on

PE ops if you can land it. Being a partner at an expensive client service firm is just not compatible with a healthy personal and family life. You're also likely to make more money in PE OPS (if you do well)
How transferable is the PE ops skillset you learn as a VP across industries? Is it common/possible to hop from a PE MM fund focused on software to something focused a upmarket in the tech value chain, eg, data center hardware?
Just curious… have a friend wanting to hop over and it got me thinking about how “generalist” the VP skillset is for value creation roles
PE Ops is better than consulting on WLB and salary, the one thing is that seems less stable than consulting. If PortCo doesn’t perform as expected you can easily be replaced, in consulting you have more flexibility if things don’t go well in one study
You have two competing goals where you will earn more as a consulting partner but have potential for much better WLB in PE Ops.
Honestly would have thought tenured MBB partner was c$2m+
