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.
