What’s in a PE operations role? Is it a good transition from FDD? Is there a salary bump? Is the prestige the same? What about work life balance? Is it better than FDD at a Big 4?

Depends a lot on the PE. Sometimes it’s like pwc1 mentioned, other times it more being a special projects type person that gets parachuted in to port cos to help implement changes that were part of the investment thesis. Can be a great gig and depending on the firm and role can be more prestigious than FDD - but would caution about defining career goals around prestige - it’s a comparison trap

I’ve heard from someone that recently made the switch that it’s very FP&A type work. Reviewing portfolio company financials for the month, understanding variances to prior year and budgeted numbers, establishing reviewing tracking and reporting KPIs to key stakeholders. They said the work is sometimes repetitive especially coming from FDD where you were always looking and doing something new. However with that they did get a pay bump and said hours were 40-50 hours consistently so with very few nights and weekend.
