Sourcing Compensation
Does anyone have any insight into the dynamics of compensation as a pre-mba associate at a MM fund with a sourcing model? I am curious how the comp works there. My understanding is perhaps a lower base, with more upside, but how much upside, and are there any figures on how often assoctiates are able to successfully source deals? Obviously this is extremely market sensitive, and the current conditions are probably not ideal for a sourcing role, but if anyone has any info on the % fee or however the bonus comp works upon sourcing a deal, I would be very interested to hear. Once again, I am mostly interested in pre-mba associate positions in $500mm-$5B firms (I know, not exactly MM). Thanks guys
Summit Partners out of undergrad?
Knowing that they hire out of undergrad, anyone have thoughts on their program. Heard from many posts that they have an 100% sourcing model, it's up to you to make cold-calls and find business. Seems like it's a glorified telemarketing position, but then again it's a PE firm. Wouldn't this look good for top b-schools?
Oh, and cold-calling is the bane of my existence...
