Private credit salaries 2023

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!

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.

 

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.
