$120k base + up to $80k bonus and $350k carry as associate (2 years pre-VC experience)
Edit: Why MS this?
What's the vest
5 years, pretty standard. Is the comp for associate market, you think?
Do you need to stay for all 5 years for the carry to vest? If so, what's the average tenure there? My role is only for 2 years so carry seems like a bit of a moot point...
Cool thanks! You have any idea for analyst (1yoe)?
No sorry, I don't....but my guess would be like $120-130k?
less than 1 year of experience
