I’m an associate in IB and I am desperately trying to move to a reputable REPE fund that pays me $150k (likely half my current pay).

I give you this example, just so you see that money is truly not that fulfilling. If I got an offer from a reputable PE fund in the $160k range, I don’t think I would stay even if my pay was $500k at my current firm. Your pay truly doesn’t matter that much in your 20s

This is also an example of why the pay frenzy will likely not transfer over to REPE. If people are willing to take $150k paycuts to move to REPE, they probably don’t need to pay more.
