Increase in PE salaries

Hi there!

After all the salary increases in IB I was wondering how payroll is being affected in PE across Europe. Any hints?

I'm in a mid-market PE firm and we are pushing for +€10k/+€15k across all categories...

Thanks

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”
