KKR / BX Comp

Does anyone know total comp progression from analyst - principal at a top MF like KKR or BX?

Heard pay is all standardized across core/re/credit/infra groups, but have yet to hear concrete numbers and target bonuses. How has it compared to your peers in IB?

I know this has been discussion in similar forms before, but looking for fresh data.

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the total average compensation for different positions at KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts) as of September 2023 is as follows:

  • Private Equity Principal: $676k
  • Director/MD: $599k
  • Vice President: $363k
  • 3rd+ Year Associate: $277k
  • 2nd Year Associate: $266k
  • 1st Year Associate: $227k
  • 3rd+ Year Analyst: $157k
  • 2nd Year Analyst: $133k
  • 1st Year Analyst: $121k

Please note that these figures are averages and actual compensation can vary based on a variety of factors. As for how it compares to peers in Investment Banking, I would need more specific data on the IB roles and firms you're interested in comparing.

Finally someone adds something of value, thank the lord.

 

The DAW figure is annualized right? So total of ~$10m and annualized comes out to $2m?
