know people there:
salary ~80k base + up to ~25% bonus (my current understanding is they are still redefining comp plan under Canadian ownership) + ask for a signing bonus
most days leave office by 6:30-9pm
as an analyst, probably minimal travel, mostly putting together models and memos
promotion to associate within 2 years, promotion to AVP in 2-3 years, VP another 3, etc
exit opps: other lenders, as Antares is a leader in lower middle market sponsor finance, or b-school
pm me if you want more
Thanks for the response! Just sent you a PM. Does anyone else have any thoughts on Antares Capital? Is this a good position considering they were just brought under new ownership?
PM me.
AKBOS do you know if this is true for analyst straight out of college as well? AKBOS
Worked at GE until we got sold. Comp was on the low side but enough to live on. Network was great. Good management/credit analysis model, a few too many layers for my taste but it worked. Antares was always autonomous, dudes worked pretty hard but got a lot of leeway. Definitely had the highest travel/lodging/entertainment expenses at GE. Would be a good place to get started.
I think its a great place to start. Know a few people there & everybody speaks highly of each other. Agree with AKBOS regarding the comp structure. Def negotiable though especially now with CPP (deep pockets).
For those of you that know, are the only exit ops for a place like this other lenders?
^ mostly
possible to move over to a lower middle market pe firm or cap markets role at medium sized pe firm
What are your guys thoughts in terms of how things are going since they were acquired? Do you think it has been a positive or negative for them?
Feedback from our coverage guy is that it's actually been great - really freed them up to do things that they couldn't quite get done under GE. So far it sounds like CPPIB is really supportive and has been a great partner so far. From my perspective it's been pretty good - they may have lost a bit in the product breadth side, but it's enabled them to be more competitive and aggressive on the bread and butter stuff we look to them for (middle/lower-middle market secured CF lending).
Definitely more aggressive than under GE, but ultimately same story. They have a mandate to grow to $20B AUM (get bigger than Golub).
bump
Spoke to a senior guy this week, mentioned analyst recruitment would be low to non-existent due to the first implementation of their internship program this summer.
Bump
Sorry to reawaken this thread, but can anybody else confirm the comp for Antares? The numbers here seem to be significantly different from the ones on glassdoor and other places online.
i think my numbers are pretty spot on with the comp i see on glassdoor for analysts. and a $20-$30k bump for associates is about right too?
Maybe you will get more in NYC than Chicago, but should only be +/- a few thousand.
Does anyone know what comp is like for upper level employees?
Less than an investment banking MD more than a commercial banking MD
Compensation is probably more variable at the upper levels than in IB....but make no mistake about it, there are senior MDs at Antares making every bit as much as IB MDs. They win an awful lot of deals in the middle market that carry nice underwriting fees, not to mention the income their portfolio generates. They certainly have the strongest capital markets presence among their competitors and generate revenue via a strong sales and trading team as well.
Anyone have any more data on comp for mid-level/upper level comp?
Bump, does anyone have current info? Seems like they are still growing AUM and leading league tables for their market still. Anyone know about analyst and associate comp/exit opps? Do they place well into MBA business schools">M7 B-School? Additionally, if anyone has any insights about VP and up pay that'd be great too!
Anyone have any idea if these guys (including guys like Golub and Ares) can get into distressed funds?
