Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, compensation for associates in private credit, including areas like Asset-Based Financing (ABF), generally aligns with corporate private credit compensation. For first-year associates at top private credit shops (e.g., Ares, GSO, Owl Rock, HPS, Bain Capital Credit), total compensation typically ranges from $175k to $250k, depending on the size and location of the firm. This includes both base salary and bonuses.
While ABF-specific data isn't explicitly detailed, it is reasonable to expect similar ranges, as ABF is often considered a subset of private credit.
