Can someone provide a write-up of a earnings track via IB into PE?

Looking for a simple write-up (if anyone has time) for kind of an ideal earnings track for an IB analyst who progresses into PE starting at say, 22/out of school? Like what would the earnings and ceiling likely be for someone in the most ideal circles? There was a write-up for this track but for someone moving from analyst, to associate, to VP, etc. before they turned 30. Looking for one but for PE?

So I'd guess IB analyst 1, 2, then into PE and where would they be and what would they be making by the time they were 30 assuming the rosiest track possible? $750k? $1MM? More?

You’re right I think it depends. Some shops do 2 years associate -> 2 years MBA then come back in as a VP since in fheory the 2 years had they not gotten their MBA they would be senior associates.

Also the $800k might be in the highside but I wouldnt say its totally off with carry but my knowledge spans to MBA so perhaps someone else can chime in
