PWP Bonuses 2025
Is it true that bonuses came in lower than expected this year for associates and VP?
I am considering a lateral move, and I was initially drawn to the top of the street compensation.

Still above street but firm had a so-so year so not quite as good as usual
any specific numbers?
As3 mid 500’s
AS1 $400k. Top.
Does this include the A2A bonus?
AS1 400k
AS2 475k
AS3 575k
PWP was generous.
this is inaccurate
My bad, here are the corrected figures.
AS1 1.2M
AS2 1.3M
AS3 1.4M
Hearing comp was quite good for Asso 1 ~400k all in for top
$400K AS1 and up to $575K AS3
What about VPs? I feel like PWP has been up there with CVP
Heard VP 1 (Director 1) is around 600k all in but not sure if top or mid
these numbers r lowkey crazy, makes PE seem less attractive lowkey…
Lol MFPE like Carlyle paying 290k-350k and their IB counterparts are at $400k
….
Heard from a close friend. Associates got 100-130% (mid-top) and also a base bump (AS3 now 250k)
.
D1 (functionally VP but pwp switches director and VP title)
$625K all in, mid
Congrats brosky. You made more than BOA Managing Directors
