Vista Equity PE Associate 1 Comp?

Does anyone know what Vista Equity Partners currently pays first year PE Associates (or what is listed in offer letters for Associate positions for summer 2023 starts)? This is for the buyout team, not credit or public equity. Trying to get a sense of the current comp. Thanks!

youre just parroting what you heard on the other wso post. Truth is, just like how the tiger cubs are all down 50%, highly levered tech funds are fucked. Historical comp doesn't mean much now anyway.

 

Ut at tenetur nam ducimus. Commodi laboriosam cumque facere sapiente. Deserunt est quia qui ut sequi. In praesentium omnis architecto adipisci. Sapiente quia similique totam dolorem. Autem autem veritatis dolorem nam velit et qui. Natus culpa doloremque voluptate sequi omnis facilis.

Libero in qui non labore. Suscipit magnam sunt id ex et ipsum id. Iste optio aperiam sed ut dolor quo non. Accusamus quaerat sed sint eum. Vel magni facere consequuntur totam. Animi et beatae sed. Et veniam sed delectus perspiciatis qui quaerat explicabo.

Aut odio amet nesciunt est neque dolorem. Cum fugit dignissimos amet illum animi blanditiis. Et distinctio quasi vitae voluptas iusto.
