Secondaries: VP level or Senior Associate Comp / WLB + Case Studies

Wondering if anyone has any recent data points on VP level comp / senior associate comp including base/bonus/carry/co-invest opportunities for Secondary funds like Blackstone, Whitehorse, Landmark, etc and how you might compare work-life-balance to traditional PE.

Would also be great to hear about what kinds of case studies would be applicable for that type of position, does anyone have anything they could share?

thanks in advance

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.”
