Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about Level Equity's 2026 aptitude test or detailed communication on AN1 total compensation in the provided context. However, for AN1 roles in similar firms, base salaries often hover around $100K, with bonuses varying depending on performance and firm-specific policies. If you're looking for more precise details, it might be worth checking recent threads or reaching out to others in the WSO community who have experience with Level Equity.

Did you take the test?
base probably is 90k for sourcing and 100k for investment team. and bonus probably 50%-100% at max. Not a big shop but definitely decently sized.
aptitude test should be the same as LLR, Vista Equity Partners, FT, Eastdil Secured, etc. So if you recruited for banking and did the assessment at any one of these previous firms, you should be fine since its fairly light.
Yeah it was the same thing. Comp at ~150-175 is pretty mid - especially compared to like a SilverSmith
Yeah I think base is roughly 100k and then 50k bonus probably. For a Y1 analyst at least.
Does anyone know what to expect from the phone interview/screen?
Probably basic behaviorals to be fair… why level equity, why GE, why not IB/PE, their favorite portfolio company.
Is the first round interview with HR or over the phone?
Did you guys here back for First Rounds already?
Yeah heard back with a R1 invite already
Did they say anything on when R2 invites come out.
.

Anyone hear back for Superday yet?
I finished my R2 today so I recon they'll be out soon
Bump any updates to superday?
Nothing yet

anyone know if there will be technical/LBO/analysis questions in the superday interviews beyond the case
I doubt it’s gonna be too technical. Any ideas what the case is gonna be abt ?
probably evaluating companies
who emailed you back about the superday?
do you think they're done giving out superday invites? or is it possible there's a 2nd wave?
Looks like were in the same boat Wiz! I don't think there is a 2nd wave coming. I'll let you know if I get anything.
Okay, keep me in the loop
