AN3
MM - c.80-100 individuals in London
Base - £75k
Bonus - 63%
Hours - average about 50 - 70
Satisfaction - Pretty content. Very good WLB and flexibility (but still 5 days in office). But firm / deals / individuals aren't the strongest / best.
Sounds amazing. Is this Jeff?
Sounds like Alantra.
Won't be Jefferies with those hours mate
An3
MM - c.50 heads in London
Base - £70k
Bonus - 90%
Hours - low side would be 50, upper end can be 75+
Good shop, great people, not always the best quality deals with some fluctations. But for WLB to comp ratio, pretty strong, especially in current market.

Base: 70
Bonus %: 60%

Title: ASO 1
Firm: LMM (10 hc)
Base: £65k
Bonus: 120-150% (conservative estimate)
Hours: 50-70 on average
Satisfaction: Overall content. Base is obviously very low, but autonomy is strong, rough weeks of 90+ hours are minimal and bonuses are generous (90% at an2 after a very bad year and could easily end up getting 160% or more at aso1 if things go well). Very young firm, so aim is to assess comp growth vs firm growth and make sure they match up.
What does recruiting like at your firm? Do they run a SA scheme and do they recruit from UK targets only or also semis like Bath, Durham etc
Let's see Paul's TC
AN 2
LMM
15
Base : 46
Bonus : 120%+(approx 100% in tranches if especially shit year.)
Hours : Approx 50-70. 70 = busy. Rare when 90+ (makes sense due to low base). Overall satisfaction: Good. Bad year means bonus paid in tranches (never 0) . Own the deal with MD. Tiny teams , no bullshit and deals get done. Can plan my week - low stress levels, go to gym every day and spend time with family and friends. At all meetings (in person and online , whether that is with an acquiring CEO or client )
what was A1 base
ASO3, 6YE (hoping investment manager next promo cycle)
LMM structured credit fund (ABS/private credit)
£90k base + 50% max bonus (25% cash, 25% LTIP (2y deferred, works like co-invest, compounds at fund return (high teens), pays out annually)
Hours depend heavily on dealflow (60+ on live deal), but on avg 50
Deals are interesting, leading deals and IC process independently, but feel underpaid vs market
not IB ...not even PE
