Same here. Was asked the other day what my comp expectations for a FT PE role were and I was unsure what to say. Can anyone shed any light on comp?

 

Name some funds that have this please. Hard to believe tbh so a few names would help

Salty weirdos love slandering Vista on WSO. Love the "inaccurate" MS for someone who actually works there

 
 

When you say there’s an A2A bonus one can get in their first year, see you implying that Ares’ analyst program is only 1 year, and after a year you become an Associate?

Is this program for those immediately out of undergrad?
