I've been through the search, comp data, rhodes associates comp report, CEL report.
Still wanting some clarity on comp. For a 2nd year associate (4th year), what a typical market comp?

Career Resources
For a 2nd-year associate in private equity, compensation can vary significantly depending on the firm size, location, and specific niche. Based on the most helpful WSO content:
For example: - MM PE Funds ($500M-$3B AUM): Total comp is often $220k-$250k. - Top-tier PE Firms (e.g., Blackstone, KKR): Total comp can reach $266k or more.
If you're at a smaller or less competitive shop, the numbers might trend lower, but the opportunity for carry or co-investment could offset that.
