Highest paying jobs for people out of graduation with experience?
I'm sure this question has been posted many times before. But it seems most people consider high paying jobs $80-150K.
After doing a lot of digging, I'm finding out jobs like Citadel or other different companies have salaries at bear minimum $150K-200K for starting salaries.
For guys with experience in private equity and are fresh out of college, where do they go with high paying salaries?
Also if it's performance based please let me know too!
Dude what’s your question here. Yes, the highest paying offer you can get out of undergrad is pretty much at a quant trading firm (Citadel et al is 150k base, 150k signing, 100k bonus for top applicants). That being said, PE is a wildly different job and it shouldn’t really matter
What a wack question
Like what are good PE firms where you can rank up quickly
Like what are some of the Citadel's of PE?
it's like you read one article about hedge funds and just stopped.
What’s a bear minimum lol?
Do you consider internships as "experience"?
yes
How do they have "experience in private equity and are fresh out of college" ?
Buying & selling businesses experience?
Not to be the “barer” of bad news, but don’t think you need to be worrying about this.
lol why? I'm looking to join the firms.
His point being if you're asking this question and asking this question this way, you probably don't qualify for the highest paying jobs.
Anyone here who can actually be helpful?
You haven’t given any real questions. Is the question where will I earn a lot of money in PE? The answer is most places in PE. Is the question what are the biggest names in PE? Google “Private Equity Megafunds.” But know that your “experience” in buying and selling businesses does not inherently qualify you for these jobs as much as it seems like you think it will.
Based on your last post, I’ll also say that you, as a 2.8 non-target face huge uphill battles. The only route I think for you to reasonably break into PE is to go to a top MBA and go into investment banking, and recruit for PE from there. Separately, it seems like one of you’re questions is “how much can I get paid” — for a PE associate the answer is probably about $200k-300k. Post MBA, and post IB, you might be looking at VP salaries of $600k-1000k. But as I said, you’re facing a huge barrier to that given your atypical non-target, low GPA, non banking background.
Internships aren't generally seen as experience that drives pay, you will always be starting at the A1 level where comp is standardized.
You will get into better A1 roles with quality internships, but it's already stated that it tops out at $150-200k base and those are for wildly competitive quant roles.
I'm just gonna be blunt. You're looking at this in the totally wrong perspective. In business, more than any other field, experience pays dividends at an exponential rate.
Stop looking to where the pay is highest at first. You want to know what it really is? SaaS sales. If you're a fucking animal you'll pull more than that quant dude at citadel your first year. But from the looks of it, you aren't a beast. you're a kid asking Glassdoor level questions.
Sorry but it's just the truth. Take a hard look in the mirror kid and get your head out of your ass
“Glassdoor level questions” lmao I love this response
