I'd like to push back on this as I am at a BB and the functions vary based on the groups mandate. Evercore business is bifurcated into the private funds group(which is the investor relations/fundraising arm) and the secondary transactions(PE GP/Investor stake spins offs)
At my BB, those functions are grouped together and as a result it is more of a IB style role as all analyst need their 7,63 and 79. Base salaries are the same as IB($85 an1/ $90k an2) bonus will be based on the desk fundraising efforts(make money based amount raised), secondary transactions generate fees.
Hours: Fundraising(45-60) / Secondary(IB hours )
I wouldn't create the picture that this isn't as mind numbing as IB because IMO both teams are doing mindless work just one is way more quantitative versus one is more marketing heavy. All based on what you like to do.
I would also add that I've seen exit opps into PE investor relations roles which for the right person is still pretty lucrative ($200k-$300k+ as associates with upper levels potentially getting carry)

If your dead set on IB not sure how easy it would be to lateral internally or externally after 2 years so I would agree on not taking it if offered as your often pegged as a IR/Biz Dev person unless you can get into Evercore's secondary team
I don't know in what world an IR associate these days get $200-300k plus carry. Sounds completely wrong.
First hand experience can say that all private funds work is pretty monotonous and very process/menial task oriented, including secondary transactions.
I know this is an old post but wanted to comment on this so people are given a truer picture of the sector. Im an Analyst at a private market fundraising group and have a close friend in the equivalent group at Evercore. Absolutely agree the work is boring, but in my opinion sitting in front of a spreadsheet all day as an M&A Analyst etc is just as boring. Really I would put it down to what do you prefer, quantitative or qualitative work? That’s the real difference between private market fundraising and traditional IB. Also, saying it’s back office is just silly, private market fundraising is about as front office as it gets in terms of client facing positions. You’ll constantly be talking to fund managers as well as institutional investors on the other side of the business, so really it’s a double-sided client pool. In terms of pay you’re also way off. Bare in mind this is in the UK so you’ll have to make a comparison yourself if you’re wanting US numbers, you can expect £30-40k first year bonus if you’re at a good shop such as Evercore. Which as far as I’m aware is more than first years are getting at most BB’s doing traditional IB. Also, if you get into the distribution and sales side of things, you can earn serious money quite early into your career. E.g. there was a VP who had a good year and closed a significant amount of capital from his client book, who ended up getting paid more than most MD’s in other teams.
