Lateral Conversation Advice

Hey everyone,I'm a VP at a MM PE firm and am going to be lateraling to another PE firm in Jan 2023 once bonus hits. Not personal but know my manager is going to take it personally.Anyway, any advice on how to handle the convo would be much appreciated!

Aren't you in BD? $500K for VP in BD - amazing. Totally understand your POV. No value add on my end, but just want to wish you the best. Clearly you're crushing it!

 

I think you are thinking about it the right way.  You can't control how the other side reacts...just need to go in with your script carefully planned out and stick to it.  Don't share more information than you need to.  And stay out of any live negotiations.  Just deliver your feedback as to why you're leaving (which are all good points) and leave it at that.

Fugit eveniet quia nihil quo. Sed et officia sapiente quaerat id alias ipsam. Exercitationem vel quo fugiat asperiores minus eius quia.

Nihil fugit deleniti eos officia culpa. A suscipit deleniti tempora inventore vel. Facere rerum consequatur aut quia. Itaque omnis fugit voluptatum nemo cum. Pariatur quas ut temporibus nobis. Harum tempore qui debitis.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
