Warburg PE wasn’t an analyst. Was at CVP for 3 years before joining WP. Then did 2 years at WP in IBS.

Well they have something like 2 billion dollars per IP. They returned 70 percent in 2020 and since bill ackman is a real chad im sure they'll keep making returns like that frequently.  Assuming a 20 percent perf fee that gets u at 280 million dollars per IP. So yes everyone there is making 280 million dollars.  Therefore 280 million here is the correct answer. Dont let anyone tell u otherwise. 

 

They usually recruit as needed. You can be the perfect candidate with the best resume but if they are not hiring during that year (they hire every 4-6 years) then you are out of luck so making Pershing Square your end goal is not smart. The best way to position yourself for an interview there is by doing 2+3 years (top bank + MFPE shop) or by doing 4-5 years at top MFPE (many analysts leave earlier since they get offers from other top HFs in their 2nd or 3rd year).
