Year End Bonus
Fellas,
Just got my year end bonus from an Upper Middle Market shop (think Searchlight, Veritas, AEA, TJC) and was pretty satisfied based on what this group of firms pay (supposedly). I got 210k as a 2nd year associate. Think this is good? Has anybody heard anything else about pay across the street? Only thing I heard was that one of the above UMM shops paid a range of 200-220k
Associate at Veritas here. 175-225k range for 2nd year associates. Not particularly happy about it.
that range sounds right for 2nd year associate. why are you disappointed?
Probably because Veritas is miserable and the pitch is above market comp in return
Sheesh. Isn’t the base there like 110?
That’s just wrong…
What’s the base?
MF here. 2nd year associate. $150k. Def a sign for me to leave.
Ouch can you give any indication of firm?
150k? That feels very off market. Are you in PE?
What’s base?
To confirm, numbers prior are quoting are bonuses or TC?
Bonus
UMM PE here. 140 base + 235 bonus.
Do you work at one of the firms listed above? Any sense of bucket?
This seems very solid, no?

MF PE 2nd year, $250k bonus
Base?
$140 base
Bucket?
I got $50k bonus. 4 YOE and H/S/W MBA… so that’s nice
Stub bonus for first year post MBA or actual full year bonus? What do you think happened?
Full year amount
Sucks man
MF PE, 2nd year ASO $240k bonus
Do you have an idea of what bucket you were in? Also, base?
Top, $165k
MM PE but expecting only $80,000 which is expectation. $150,000 salary in a Chicago/Dallas/Miami market. Thread has me feeling underpaid...
Def properly paid for MM
Yeah around your same comp numbers for MM PE in Chi, also feeling undercomped
Mind sharing what type of firm? Somewhere like PPC? Or more like Waud / WPP / Vistria?
obviously you'll get paid less than nyc UMM+. not sure why it would be any different
Do bonuses get paid in late summer or January ?
200 bonus 400 tc
Wow nice - what bucket? Assume this is a MF?
Just curious, do they actually tell you all what "bucket" you are in or are you just guessing based on conversations with coworkers on what they got?
From past experience at a MF there is no clear “bucket” that is communicated (there are only a handful of associates per class), but can read through the lines based on peer bonuses and other qualitative commentary
To clarify, is 2nd year the first full year as an associate? So 1st year was a stub?
Is this either Searchlight or Veritas?
Verilight
265k bonus at MF
