Associate Comp
What are people getting paid these days as Associates. It seems like it has moved upwards quite a bit industry wide and looking for anecdotal evidence of that. I can start:
Role: Megafund AM
Fund Size: $20B+
Market: Southeast
Experience: Associate 1
Base: $160k
Bonus: 60-70%
Hours: Varies, but 60-70
Think it could be beneficial to throw in city or region where you work as well given the delta between jobs you’d find in NYC vs sunbelt markets. I was recently quoted the following for the RE arm of a traditional PE firm:
Role: Acquisitions/AM
AUM: $20B+
Experience: 5 years
City/Region: Southeast
Base: $125k - $135k
Bonus: $75k - $100k
Anecdotally Hours would shake out more than most firms in the area.
Good point, added market/hours to my post.
