Would you take any PE Ops role (Vista, which has bad comp / reputation) over staying in consulting if your end goal is to go into PE ops anyways? Struggling to decide whether the foot in the door is worth a downlevel and comp cut. Roles don’t spring up like daisies so feel like this is more relevant experience and the money will come eventually.

No. Vista ops is trash. You’ll learn more staying in consulting working on high impact value creation projects.

BCG1 - most of the talent at Vista is and has been MBB.

VP1-Director at Vista will be equivalent to McKinsey EM comp.

Vista will be a spring board and their playbook approach will give you a personal playbook to take to the next thing. You won’t have a long career at Vista (progression quickly stalls) and comp is lower than the market. It’s not worth the jump unless you acknowledge it’s just a spring board to the next thing, you could stay in consulting longer and probably get a much better pay at manager level or higher.
