Sr. Ass/VP GE comp

I was able to find a lot of info on analyst/associate comp but I’m looking for senior associate / VP comp at growth equity firms (not late stage VCs but more so LMM tech buyout firms).

Breakdown of base / bonus / carry would be awesome.

im coming from large cap PE so I’ll offer a sr ass data point to get the contribute. At my firm, total comp is $475-500 with about 200 / 300 base / bonus. There’s also carry but idk the figure.

Private Equity Full Resume Review

“Rachel helped me through the very beginning and we had several iterations that were crucial to the development of a better and great CV for applications. I appreciate her patience and puntual feedback every single time. Also the response time was very short and kept me aware of any delay. It kept me on line for what I had to do and some areas to focus that I didn't knowe before, and some of them honestly I didn't have any idea. Very well all around work”

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.”

Don't have a datapoint for Sr. Ass / VP, but at my GE firm first-year Associates make ~300k. From that, I'd assume Sr. Associate comp would be slightly below/in line with that at your large-cap PE fund.

What's the latest fund size if you don't mind asking? Just to contextualize the $300k
