i wouldn’t take a pay cut

like

Yes but it has limits. Id expect hours to dramatically go up and my WLB is worth $. If I was at 100 base I'd go to 80 knowing it's going to payback in spades if I can perform.

Yes. Basically anyone who comes from IBD takes a paycut to enter PE unless they go to certain megafunds.

like

Yes.

yessss 100% yes

A pay cut*

100

Yup

To those saying yes, can you elaborate why? Size of the pay cut wasn’t mentioned also would you do it only for a 3-year program?

Not true. Not the 4 ways. There’s venture capital (larger risk and even larger returns than PE), growth equity, Real estate investing, etc.

100%

Duh

Yes.

Which career level and salary package to expect for a candidate with 5YOE in ITES Operations? Can I get a team lead position without prior experience? I have assisted team leads in handling new joiner orientation and other programmes.

I'm a depressed 32 yrs old single with 8 YOE. Last drawn CTC was 5 LPA even after switching 5 companies.
When I see Ppl with 18LPA or 23LPA with 4 or 5 YOR, I really feel my gut wrench with sadness wishing I had that CTC.
I need to put up things right to rebuild my life all over again. What do I do?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
