Immediate bump to avoid monkey bot glitch
If you don't mind me asking, is this all-in comp or base?
Funds aren’t paying 400+ base salary to 27-29 year olds in PE unfortunately

What's your pre-MBA experience if you don't mind me asking?
Personal post-MBA total comp is below, by level. Mix of Boutique, MM, and BB.
AS1: forgot
AS2: ~$300k
AS3: ~$400k
VP1: ~$500k
VP2: ~$520k
VP3: ~$650k
D1: ~$1mm
D2: ~$1.4mm
SMD/Partner: ~$1.4mm
This is banking though? Good for you btw
What years were you at each firm? Which did you like best?
Planning on doing an AMA so can go into more detail then, but have found boutique to be most rewarding. At boutique now.
Was comp being flat from D2 to MD just a function of the year and timing? Was the D2 year a really good one? Or do you expect similar numbers going forward? Thank you.
Apologies. New to app and realized posted in wrong forum. You’re correct - banking.
Fund size: Apollo/KKR
Title: Senior Associate (yr #2 post mba)
Comp: $750k cash
Other: carry
Jesus lol
What are your hours like on average? 90-100?
Avg week is ~14hr days Mon-Thurs, ~9hr Friday, plus another ~10hr cumulative spread over the weekend. Call it ~75 all-in. Deal sprints are obviously more (can get >100), but plenty of quiet weeks are in the 50-60 range.
Impressive - congrats! Do you know whether other MFs pay broadly in line? Are you up for promotion this year? Seems like this might be APO and hence above peers, but I might just be ill informed. Thanks!
definitely Apollo incl. lifestyle comp boost
They just started taking post-MBAs so not Apollo
I'll just say that this does not include any COVID/lifestyle comp boost.
