Any insights on starwood
pretty confident in these numbers cause i have friends in analyst programs at all three firms. I think signing is 10-15k for all of them.
KKR: 90k + 90k (180k all in)
BX: 90k + varies but 40-50k (135k all in)
WP: 100k + 100k (200k all in)
Carlye: doesn't take analysts into corporate PE
never can understand why BX is so much lower than KKR. Is there really that much of a discount for the BX brand over KKR??
IMO, it's not even helpful to think about it as brand discounts etc. Unlike IB, there are only a handful of MF PE firms that recruit undergrads, each process is fiercely competitive, and there are very few spots relative to IB. Anyone in a top banking group (GS TMT/MS M&A/EVR M&A/PJT RRSG etc.) would take any of these roles in a heartbeat, regardless of comp. This means that there's really no incentive for the PE firms to be more competitive in their analyst comp, resulting in very sticky wages even though every PE firm could easily afford to pay more (analysts are so cheap and there's so few of them that it would literally be a rounding error to pay 200k).
KKR is 90 + 100 + ~ estimated 5k worth of carry
Gotcha thanks. This is probably right as I heard they paid more in the last year.
I can’t imagine the carry part being true as associates don’t get carry
You are wrong on Bx. They pay 90+70->90 for 1st year analysts.
No analyst gets carry or co-investment.
Do they really? I know people in Real Estate and Tac Opps that quoted me the number above. Btw not taking into account signing bonuses.
Any insight on Ares FT?
Anyone know about GA, LGP, TPG, and Silver Lake? Any info on number of seats (for PE group at all of these firms, or I guess like also growth @ TPG) and comp. Silver Lake is no longer exclusively Wharton, they have been taking kids from Columbia, Darty, Berkeley, Harvard etc
does TPG/TPG growth hire analysts?
