Vp pay in general is pretty shitty. Not sure why but the step up from associate isn’t really as meaningful as analyst to associate, idk why tho
Not a VP, per my title, but from the data points I’ve seen most VPs get relatively meaningful carry.
I guess it depends on the fund but VP comp in my experience has been significantly higher than associate comp. I’ve seen 60-75% all in on average. Most VP-level people I know also have carry ($1-2 MM on average is what I’ve seen).
Pg 10 on the linked 2021 report is good reference for cash comp (base + bonus) across fund size / title. Total cash comp for vp's of ~$400-$500k for funds $2-10bn. Carry is touched on in later pages, but smaller sample size used https://www.heidrick.com/en/insights/private-equity/2021-north-american…
