Below private equity. Especially on bonus. Expect it to be about 60/65% or equivalent PE firms in total comp. Better work life balance.
NB significant difference between firms in terms of sourcing as a % of time - which is a less valuable skill really (as in not that hard to be good at it (unless you have no social skills/it’s a numbers game/depends on the quality of your shop).
So what does it look like in terms of GBP ?
and what are the hours at those shops ?
TA Associates, Associate all in, GBP 140k
H&F is definitely not a GE shop lol, although in PE they focus on firms with high growth they lever the fuck up.
Anyone know how Apax Digital is regarded in London/associate comp there?

Anyone for KKR growth?
Bump. Any more info about how total comp is made up? Is it 50/50 or rather 70/30?
Any data points re salary progression? Curious to know where a VP/Principal averages out!
Pretty sure you should post this on Medium not on WSO - this is where all of the growth people are.
Have not heard of that website before! What's the link?
Sorry for the beginner question but there are a few "mediums" and I'm new to GE!
My apologies, which site is this? I see https://medium.com/ looks like a traditional news site?
Are there any other sites you would recommend with more information on growth equity?

For one of the above:
75k base + 45k bonus + { }k signing depending on how well you negotiate.
Can second the figures below for TA.
What’s the range for signing ? Like 5k, 20k, 50k ?
Do you get carry ?
No carry. In accordance to the HH, signing bonus can be slightly higher than banking (i.e. little above 10k).

Any idea about comp progression? Would be great if you could shed some light on what VPs/Principals earn at those names!
What are the hours like at good GE shops like Summit, GA and TA? Any better than banking?
Coming from a bit of a sweatshop :)
Do you guys really see Marlin on par with the other names mentioned?
Pay significantly differs for the above btw, H&F and GA by far above the others.
Curious if anyone has insights on the culture of any of these.
