Non-PE 1st Year Analyst Comps at Top Megafunds (Carlyle/Blackstone/KKR etc.)

Hey everyone,

I'm joining a non-PE group within a top megafund (Carlyle/Blackstone//KKR/Apollo etc.) as a summer analyst next year and am wondering if anyone has any insights as far as what I can expect for total comp (base + bonus) for a 1st year analyst.

Appreciate any input!

Private Equity Full Resume Review

“Rachel helped me through the very beginning and we had several iterations that were crucial to the development of a better and great CV for applications. I appreciate her patience and puntual feedback every single time. Also the response time was very short and kept me aware of any delay. It kept me on line for what I had to do and some areas to focus that I didn't knowe before, and some of them honestly I didn't have any idea. Very well all around work”

Private Equity Mock Coffee Chat

“Julius was extremely helpful in breaking down the accounting concepts, especially allowing me the opportunity to walk through a question step by step on how the three financial statements are impacted across income, cash flow and balance sheet along with figuring out the mental math for it all. The concept for Equity Value to Enterprise value and bridging between the two were fairly straight forward. Along with the networking advice on reaching out to potential recruiters for Investment banking roles and how lateral recruitement is happening year end vs going into Q1 next year.”

What division / function are you joining? At BX, the front office investment professional roles pay largely the same across strategies on the junior level.
