Earlier this year, I started in an acquisitions role for a fairly large private investment company (top 20 industrial owners). I work 50-80+ hours a week depending on deal flow (not really counting at this point). Analyst with about 3+ years experience now. What can I expect in terms of bonus?

Was this not laid out when you joined?
A % was provided in the initial contract. But from what I heard from coworkers and outside parties was that that % is not accurate and it’s really much more.
More so, I just wanted to gauge what other people are getting in a similar role.
I’ve seen 3rd year analyst in asset management industrial getting 60% at a life co with a salary of 85k in chi/la
Percentages really depend on how well the firm/team have done during the past year. Depends on what you do, but pretty normal to see 30 - 75%. I can't really give you an idea unless there is some kind of baseline to work off of.
Anyone know what the likes of CPPIB/Oxford/CDPQ/Quareal pay for bonuses?
No personal experience but I've been told 30-50% at Analyst/Associate. I'd assume senior guys get more.
Bonuses for acq people usually relate to the amount of deals closed in a year (i.e. what generates acq fees from which bonuses are often justified), as well as performance of firm/fund, etc. This is what makes it so potentially profitable at the senior level, but the same concept sets the tone for junior people as well (even if subject to max cap %).
So, you should have a sense of amount based on level of activity, firm/fund performance, and the leveling setting expectations of your role (i.e. what % range is possible).
