Currently interviewing at a buyout firm in a T2 city with ~$3bn AUM that's currently investing out of a flagship fund with about $750mm. Was wondering if anyone can share what I should be expecting in terms of comp as an associate?
Aware that it is going to vary quite a bit, but would appreciate any guidance or data points for reference.
