[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a "key employee" when a PE firm buys the company, it can potentially be very lucrative for you, if you are willing to stick it out for a few years post-transaction and especially if you are willing to wait it out until the PE firm eventually sells everything.  You will probably need to work a lot to prove yourself and it won't be easy, but it could potentially be your last job, if everything works out.  On the other hand, if you are not a "key employee", I would probably be looking to exit.

The fact that the PE firm wants to meet with you likely means that they want to interview you to see if you are a "key employee" that they think is needed to move the company forward.

Best of luck.[/quote]

I’ve been in multiple PE owned companies and the trend is toward making it much harder to get equity and being much less generous toward key employees. Generally the trend is toward giving only founders these agreements to stay until x date for payout. [/quote]
