heard some blackstone kid got apollo and tpg
So what'd he/she decide?
TPG I think?
KKR China hire undergrad for their PE business. Know two kids from a tier 1 Chinese college got the job. But it's KKR Beijing tho.
Do you know what group the BX kid was from?
M&A
$400k is pretty accurate. It's actually a bit higher than that, but about $50k is in Apollo units that vest over time. Also note that Apollo puts its associates on a december calendar year (b/c it's not a 2 year program), so it's not directly comparable.
But there's no question Apollo pays higher the other megafunds. They also run a much leaner shop.
Centerbridge pays around there as well, so it's certainly not unheard of for fund performing well.
so personal exp or inflated numbers u herd from friends?
I can confirm that my offer for 2014 is near 400K (not Apollo) if you count vested shadow equity at 1$/1$. Cash (including retirement) is somewhere a little north of 300K. So 400 for Apollo is believable to me.
