Blackrock Private Credit Comp

I have an interview for a Blackrock private credit investment associate role coming up, does anyone know salary expectations here? I assumed somewhere in the ~225k-250k all in range.

Hey Analyst 1 in CB, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...

More suggestions...

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.

Blackrock should be higher than that. You can get $250k all-in at a shop with less than $2B AUM. Average cash comp for associates in NY is $300k according to the Odyssey PC comp report that came out this week.

Blackrock should be higher than that. You can get $250k all-in at a shop with less than $2B AUM. Average cash comp for associates in NY is $300k according to the Odyssey PC comp report that came out this week. 

Guidance from 2022 for their opportunistic credit team was $250k for Asso 1 with a 50% bonus deferral in Blackrock stock.  I suspect this has moved up closer to 300k but bonus deferral likely still stays.
