What are standard benefits in PE?
This is honestly a tertiary concern but interested in seeing what people have. I was talking to some friends at other funds and it was interesting to see how much things varied, specifically around healthcare and expensing meals. I always thought fully paid healthcare + free food was standard in PE but apparently not? My firm ($2Bn AUM) has the following:
- 6% 401k match
- Fully paid health/dental/vision insurance with very good coverage
- No set vacation days (people just take what they want / need. Maybe 1 1-2 week vacation, a couple random Fridays off, and a lot of time around the holidays)
- Can expense dinner when working late (not limits / policies, just use your best judgment)
- First class travel everywhere
- $200/month fitness subsidy
- New company phone + plan every 2 years (can either use as personal or have a separate work phone)
- Tacit policy for team dinners / drinks (not written down anywhere but basically if it’s 3 or more people it’s ok to expense it)
Hi gimmedemjeans, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
More suggestions...
You're welcome.
first class everywhere? niceee
My firm's ($2-3bn latest fund) benefits are below:
$1bn fund
4% 401k match
1:1 leveraged co-invest
Not sure vacation days but people generally take 1 longer trip plus random fridays, extend holidays, etc.
New cell phone and data plan (or pay for your personal)
Fully flexible WFH, some starting to come to office more but no definitive mandate
Dinners if you’re in the office late, but not sure if anyones actually using it
Random drinks / team building events are generally expensible
Fly coach unless it’s a 5+ hour flight (business)
No health / gym stipend

Zero retirement, health insurance or benefits, but all the cocaine you can snort. Love this place!
