Comp is not in line with BB/EB comp unless you're speaking base salaries... you will take a significant pay cut to deal-based work, as you will with any ~40-50 hour/week job. MDs make great money but you have to be good at sales.
It's a good career, especially at a MF, but like anything else has its tradeoffs. Juniors are not going to be extremely highly paid and it's not really possible to move into deal work from that seat.
Have heard from many that comp, including bonus, is on par with BB/EB. Perhaps it varies between MF. Heard KKR and Advent pay higher than the rest.
but what level are you talking about? are analysts/associates getting that high comp, or higher levels?
I don't have any insight into comp, but I wouldn't necessarily bank on 50-60 hours a week. My experience (which is more from the LP type-side), is that IR are often working longer than that. I regularly get emails from them at 1am or 2am.
50-60 hours a week is more typical of a MM fund (with longer hours at certain crunch points).
Interesting, are you speaking about MF as well?
Yeah I'm talking about MF, I think the big difference is that MM are only raising new funds every couple of years, and in between fund raising, the work is largely providing LPs updates and the occasional co-invest syndication. Whereas MF have so many products, that you're constantly fund raising (often multiple products at a time), and given the number of products, you also have a lot more co-invest to syndicate.
No insight into comp but am at one of BX / KKR and our IR folks are usually out of the office by 6 or so. During busy season (LPAC, earnings, etc.) they do work weekends and late nights but it's maybe 2 weeks/quarter or so. Not a bad gig.
