Why so many MBBers are very focused on PE exists, whether Ops, portCo or deal teams?

I understand the financial appeal for deal teams and how hard it is to enter, but what about value creation teams and portcos?

It’s simple: pay and upside mobility.

Pay - PE ops is one of the few exits MBB consultants could aim for a pay match and often a raise.

Upside mobility - PE ops trains you well to be a senior leadership or even C suite vs corporate exits (including tech) where most stop at a terminal level.

Personally I chose tech as I long tech and wanted to found a tech startup or join one someday in the future. PE ops was the only other option option considered when leaving BCG.

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
