Comp for 1st year PE associate in non-finance capital

All,

Understand for the big guys in NYC 1st year PE associate get around $250-300k a year. What should you expect if you work for a more regional / boutiques at cities like SLC, Charlotte, Atlanta and Miami? Both base + bonus.

Thanks a lot in advance.

 

I have two friends that have since left H.I.G. to go on to b-school. My understanding is that they made $200k all-in, plus the opportunity to co-invest in deals. They were very disappointed with H.I.G.'s comp calling it below market. I'd be shocked if they pay even at the low end of your spectrum, which is even more than some of the multi-billion dollar funds pay ($140k + $140k from what I've heard).
