Entry Level PE Pay

Hey guys,

I might get lucky and have a stab at GS PE internship, which if I do well, will work out for a full-time offer.

J/w what the typical starting salary/bonuses (if any) are. The salary database only has info on IB. Thanks in advance.

depends, is it for PIA or the fund of PE funds business? If its PIA (the PE fund within merchant banking that does most of the LBO deals that GS does) you will get banking + a little extra you first two years. Don't know about fund of Pe funds in IM, will be less though
