Depends on the AUM & type or REPE but that feels like solid comp for analyst level, especially on the bonus front. Much higher than that is ibanking or megafund comp for an analyst with 2 YOE.
I’m not saying this to make the other guy feel bad but that comp is subpar and I know for a fact he could be making $200k+ in NYC. First year analyst comp is at $150k to $200k at most major players. That’s what we’re paying our first year analyst and he confirmed his peers are making that at other shops too. This climbs to $250k to $300k with a few years of experience. I’m not at a megafund for the record.
I don’t see why people are MSing posts that say the comps listed are low. We should be encouraging higher pay. I want to get paid more and I want to work with smart and hard working people (who tend to want to get compensated for their intellect and work ethic). Let’s not lose all the talent to IB and consulting.
