Super wide range or salaries.

Figures I heard for analysts:

- Small-Mid Cap (Innovafonds, Cerea, 123 IM, Siparex, Bpifrance..): 45-55 k€ with bonus around 50% (sometime less)

- Large Cap (Ardian, CVC, Permira...): 60-75k with bonus in the 50-100% range

For associates:

- Small-Mid Cap: 60-70 k€

- Large Cap: 90-120 k€

Small-mid cap is generally aligned with Big 4 Transaction Services teams salaries while large cap are more in line with IB/M&A salaries.

Hit me up if you have more specific questions.
