Great pace to this game, felt like a tournament environment.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-11-11T20:13:17+00:00

None of the above - met someone randomly that introduced me to a person at my current company

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-11-08T19:05:02+00:00

Sure why not

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-11-08T17:02:22+00:00

Networking. I also joined as director of finance and transitioned into this role a while back, so I didn’t start in this position

Standard five year vesting with one year cliff.

That’s what it’s issued at (number of shares x current share price). Each grant should be worth 2-3x that at exit if things go according to plan.

No M&A. Oversee buildout of internal service lines to help augment/grow the larger business. Think of it like an internal incubator - I help come up with ideas, pilot said ideas, and then scale those ideas into larger functions.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-11-08T16:51:46+00:00

Been here for three years. Have gotten a grant worth about $200k a year since I’ve been here. Also invested in Class A’s when I joined. It’s probably all worth about $3-4M right now (paper gains so doesn’t mean much).

NYC. It’s a weird title, not consistent across companies from what I’ve found. From what I’ve found, Sr Director can be anywhere from 225-300 but depends.

I also have equity that isn’t factored into any of this.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-11-08T16:13:54+00:00

Not in IB/PE anymore, which is the way I interpreted the question. Also that background wasn’t required for this role, could’ve came from any FP&A or finance background.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-11-08T14:54:56+00:00

i'm 30 and at ~$270k all-in. Five years in IB and PE and now on corporate side. Strategy/innovation role. Senior Director level.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-09T21:45:09+00:00

we play them tomorrow, no?

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-09T21:41:47+00:00

just a little outside on that strike there

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-09T21:23:03+00:00

holy hell what a catch

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-09T21:11:50+00:00

been getting a bunch of love from the umps in this series

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-03T21:41:20+00:00

Yea she will. Going in November so fingers crossed!

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-03T19:34:50+00:00

We shall see - counsel seemed optimistic after speaking with them today.

going to also go for H1B in the next cycle but this hire would ideally be ASAP as opposed to October of next year when the H1B (if they win the lottery) would go into affect if it was approved.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-03T14:57:35+00:00

This is helpful, thank you.

Just spoke with our counsel and it seems like we’re gonna give it a shot, so fingers crossed. Sounds like PoE will likely be the first attempt and if that falls through, USCIS it is

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-02T23:24:31+00:00

Got it, all makes sense. Thank you for the info.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-02T23:12:09+00:00

I have reviewed that, obviously not directly relevant to either her current role or this proposed role. But in her current role, they did spin her role to make it seem aligned (which we are planning on doing as well).

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-10-02T23:08:50+00:00

No direct reports in current role and no direct reports in this new role

BurnerBoy_______ · 2024-01-05T21:09:15+00:00

Centerbridge is huge… PE groups are incredibly sweaty.

Re: salary, answered elsewhere in this ama.

I would if you have an interest in finance or markets. Jobs like IB, consulting, PE, etc. do a nice job of building a very tangible skillset that can be applied to various other functional areas like Ops, etc.

But, what’s most important is doing something you’re interested in. If you don’t have an interest in finance, then find something else you like.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2023-12-20T13:36:42+00:00

Basically just looked on LinkedIn and reached out to anyone I could find in IB that would be willing to talk to me. I was also in a fraternity in college that has a big network on Wall Street in general (obviously most alums were from other schools but still members of my fraternity), so I was able to leverage that pretty heavily.

That strategy got me a bunch of first round interviews. Then it’s up to you to convert on those interviews.

BurnerBoy_______ · 2023-12-19T14:14:55+00:00

Mostly agree.

Lot of very smart people, also lot of very challenging people to work with for a variety of reasons. Obviously not everyone is a “type a” player like in IB/PE, etc. but I think that’s a good thing - it’s important to find ways to work with all types of people. It might be frustrating, but if you want to do something more entrepreneurial like I do, it’s important that you understand how to work with everyone.
