Hi,
I need some help about salaries for an associate role (5 years) in a private credit team in London (background is Leveraged finance and sponsor coverage background, in line with all my new peers).
The position is a team within a big company: KKR, Ares, Barings and those profile.
What would be the salary? And what bonuses are they paying for 2022?
Thanks!

With 5y of relevant experience would think you should join as ASO3, hence expect >$400k at any of the large cap US managers.
Is this base or all in?
You are kidding right?
Thanks.
Is that amount in London?
It looks too much for me. The profile of the company is similar or Permira, CVC, Pemberton, Tikehau, Barings, Ares,....
Thanks!
Yes, that's for for large cap US managers in London.
Feels a bit high for 5 years of experience.
Thank you.
what salary would you say?
I would appreciate if you can split between fix and bonus (and real bonus from last year)
thanks!
Think is standard range for large cap PE/PC funds in London.
Feels a bit high for 5 years of experience.
First year analysts are making £130-150k these days so £350k GBP for 5YoE sounds right.
Thank you. Is that amount fix or fix + bonus?
All in.
For analysts, £70k-£80k base + £60k-£70k bonus is probably "market" level for a normal year (last year upper end of that range, this year probably the £60k or maybe even £40-50k in bonus depending on shop).
At ASO3 level, I would expect bonus to be slightly above your base.
Thank you. With the current macro environment and fires, do you think companies are paying 80% bonuses?
Funds pay out of management fee. A lot of these firms have floating rate loans. Unless there are material write downs, there is no reason to screw people over.
Thanks.
I asked because the investment volumes will decline (less capital deployed, less management fees) and performance might decrease (lower carry). Funds would prefer to retain employees -not paying bonuses- rather than paying bonus and firing the following year.
I’m not sure if that’s too high. Top PC firms in the US by AUM pay betweeen 300 and 350k for ASO1, no?
Hayfin thoughts?

OP clearly at Barings - known to heavily underpay at all levels except DIR+ in London. Other names comp in line with previous comments.
How come they underpay? Thanks!
Below what I have gathered from speaking to HHs. Would be great to know if you know of any other firms.
- ICG: £80k base + 1.25-1.5x bonus for ASO1
- Pemberton: £80k base + 75% bonus for ASO1
- Ares: £130k base + >1.0x bonus for ASO1
- GS: £95k base + 1.0x bonus for ASO1
- Barings: £100k base + 1.0x bonus for ASO1
- Sixth Street: £150k base + 1.5x bonus for ASO1
Thanks! Much appreciated.
What do you know about the working culture?
WTF is sixth street paying?????
Hayfin? Ty
Quoted from a recruiter for 350 at KKR and 350-400 at Silver Point for likely an Assoc 2 lateral
Edit: USD in NY
Is this GBP? If so i'm being severely underpaid (and I'm at a large cap shop)
Whoops didn't realize post was about London. That's USD in NY
.
Think that distressed/opportunistic/more junior in the capital structure tends to pay more as opposed to credit lenders solely in the 1L.
Agreed - opportunistic/junior shops tend to charge higher man fees and carry and as a consequence pay more.
Anyone know what Oaktree pays?
