Interested in this for london too
I think it’s close to 375K+ for both on average. There are outliers like APO in PE and Center view in Banking.
Almost no first year PE comp is $375k- I’d say that is the outlier (Apollo, Warburg, etc). Would say $330-$350k is market for MF/UMM. Have friends with offers at a bunch of places and they’re all in the 330-350 range
Does this include sign on?
What banks are paying 1st year associates 375k+ (aside from boutiques like CVP/Q)
$375k is a little steep outside of the banks you mentioned but $350k isn’t a stretch in my mind. Second year associates where I work made $400k+
Wow, 400k+ what am I doing here in PE
My understanding is that most EBs paid ASO1 around $450k, and CVP paid almost $600k
Know for sure WB, HW, Baird paid 400K plus this year. i'm sure some others
Anyone know how PE associate comp (typically) progresses in year 2? Know in banking you’re looking at $50k+ increase each year as an associate so curious if PE keeps up
Curious to know about comp progression from ASO1 to ASO2 in PE as well.
Depends a lot by firm but for MF/UMM expect total comp to increase $25k-$50k with a larger portion of it driven by bonus.
Citi IB Aso1 probably underpaid and make near $300K or under.
Record business but bonuses flat or below peers.
Looking like Q1 earnings for banks are pretty terrible given tough comps last year. I can imagine reversion to pre-COVID level bonuses in 2022. Hard to make decisions based on total comp in a record year that has implications for your career long term. Investment banking is an inherently cyclical business.
Agree, as much as I hope numbers are here to stay (and ideally positively impact PE/PC comp figures as well), banking fees this year are poised to come down significantly and bonuses with them.
Interesting because my group is tracking another record year and bank (mm) is on pace with last year. Thought that was general consensus as well

Was this years high IBD pay for juniors one time? Correct me if I’m wrong, but from what I’ve seen record breaking deal flow (M&A and capital markets/SPAC) coupled with stemming junior attrition was the reason, anyone have insight moving forward? I imagine the argument for IB vs PE from a junior perspective changes if comp this year was an outlier
Just another datapoint: ASO1 at an EB and got $410K total comp this year. Told to expect a decent bit more next year.
Personal take is unless you see yourself grinding for many years in PE in arguably worse hours, Analysts should consider sticking around in banking if they like their group / coverage area. Life definitely is better as an Associate and only gets better from here.
Interesting you say that life is better as an associate. At my bank, associates work just as hard but have more responsibility. Probably just my experience at a sweaty mm bank
Fair. I work just as hard if not harder than my Analyst colleagues. However, I also now have more rapport with seniors, better understanding of timelines / deliverables, and am generally more efficient at the job. All of these make the job more bearable and enjoyable.
Lol no firm is going to tell you, hey just FYI your comp is going to come down next year
