Probably 210-250 as management / VP. You can probably negotiate pretty heavily. Everyone is prior IB/MBB and one guy is a prior entrepreneur who sold his company. It’s definitely an interesting crowd.
Work is special projects that can add value to the company. You could be calculating the impact of trade (shortages) or calculating margins on the thousands of products and recommending ways to improve. You work with the C-suite and board so it feels better than just editing pitches or models in IB. You’re treated as a mix of M&A and internal consulting. It’s a lot of meetings and requests for work that haven’t been done with little data. I enjoy the problem solving.
Promotions tend to be quicker than traditional corporate development.
