Complimentary handjobs. Can't have the fresh associates be too tired to actually work after jerking themselves off all over town.

The comp question is way too broad to answer. For perks:

KKR

- Catered breakfast / lunch, ~$35 dinner stipend past 8 PM

- Car home after 9 PM

- 401K match for Principal and above, but not for associates

- Ability to co-invest in funds being raised ($100k minimum commitment) and individual deals you work on (believe $25k minimum commitment but may be flexible); co-invest leverage only offered to Principal and above

BX

- $20 lunch stipend, $35 dinner stipend past 6 PM

- Car home after 8 PM

- 401k match up to $5k per year but with a bad vesting schedule (5 years to fully vest)

- Unique co-invest program whereby you can commit to any active fund one time per year (in January) up to a certain $ threshold ($100k total for associates). Firm offers co-invest leverage through third party. Structure of this prevents from needing to file a K-1 with taxes 

 

Anyone know details similar to the above for WP / TB / LGP? Starting at one of them this summer but don't have details on food / co invest / other perks
