Infrastructure PE Europe : Analyst Salary
Hello everyone !
I am currently in the process of being recruted in a European PE fund (1-5bn AUM) specialized in Infrastructure, straight after college (Master degree). From my understanding, fixed salary revolves around 50k in average, and bonus of 10k, can anyone confirm or not this number? You would be a true hero 😉 ! Thanks in advance.
If as analyst in a 1.5bn fund they give you a 10k bonus, they are making fun of you.
Good to know , thanks for the comment. Which figure do you have in mind ?
Current 3rd year analyst in European infra PE. Base is 45-50k€ with almost no progression at analyst level and bonus 50-80% of base
Associate is 65-70 with same level of bonus
Senior associate is 75-85
Not sure for above.
Hope this helps
Certain Infra PE such as Ardian / GIP / Antin pay closer to 75-80k€ base at analyst level so really depends on fund size and strategy
what the fuck? GIP pays AS1's close to $400k in the US, and they pay their analysts in EU the equivalent of $120k assuming 50% bonus? wtf
Welcome to European PE. Now you know where the term 'Europoors' comes from.
This is just mind blowing … even when considering that Tier 1 US cities are more expensive to live in compared to Europe.
I’ve always wondered where things went wrong here in terms of salary ^^
This is wrong. GIP pays equivalent to ny in total comp and so do a number of other us funds (stonepeak, kkr, etc)
you sure you work in PE?
Give me the figure you have in mind and I think I will reconsider my job …
In a fund of 1-5bn you should at least get 60k salary with a bonus of 50%- 80%.
Note that your fund (assuming they have 3bn of AuM) is making at least 45m in revenue assuming just a 1.5% management so, they should be able to pay you properly....
if they had 200m AuM I would understand the salary and bonus you said but with 1- 5bn... no way.. they are just cheap bastards.
You are joking right?
I would also hope so!
Thank you for your answer , very helpful !
£50k+10k sounds pretty low... Is it a fund based in UK or Southern EU? Do you have previous experience?
Thanks for the input ! The fund is based in France. Would you consider negotiating the fixed salary or the bonus ? Is it even possible to negotiate the bonus in advance, since it’s supposed to be linked to fund’s performance ?
