Comp at Growth Equity Shops
Thought I would get a thread going about comp at some of the growth equity places.
TA Associates, Summit Partners, JMI Equity, TCV, General Atlantic, Insight Partners, Spectrum Equity... etc

Interested!
Bump - anyone have any colour on this?
follows comp at similar sized funds on buyout side. ie. megafunds like insight, GA pay upwards of 250k+ and umm come in at least at 200k all in
They are less by about 50-100 depending. They pay a scaled down version but very similar and not that big of a difference. MF pay like 300-350 nowadays at Aso.
Dont think that is true? I have only heard Apollo paying 300k at Assoc 1 with Blackstone, TPG paying btwn 250-280k all in
Does the cono also translate to similar levels of sweatiness? I.e is GA the growth equity Apollo/Ares etc.
Comp** damn you autocorrect
GA doesn't seem too bad after talking to an Associate there. Probably more hard working than the other GE shops, but definitely not like the old-school LBO sweatshops.
The top growth shops cited above aren't nearly as sweaty as Apollo/Ares/etc. Personal experience at one of the top GE and what I have heard from friends at others, 9am-8pm (with hours picking up a bit if you are closing a deal).
How are the hours at Insight and General Atlantic, and how is the culture at each?
If anyone can answer this I will be grateful, it is not really an abstract question

How does comp compare? Significant haircut compared to buyout shops?
Hours at Insight, roughly 9am-8pm. Minimal/optional work on weekends (mostly if you want to get a headstart on the week). Hours pick up when you are personally involved in closing a deal.
I'd describe the culture as collegial. Everyone is given the freedom/responsibility to get the work done how/when they see fit, but MDs/VPs stay pretty actively involved in the development of their team members and the dealflow that they generate. Expectations are high so if you mess up, you will obviously hear about it. But, I would say this is almost always done in a constructive manner. In general, the people are smart and fun to learn from. Pretty minimal sharp-elbowed behavior, too. Outside of work, lots of people are close friends and get drinks together, play in rec leagues, etc.
Comp at associate level is 250k for first 6 months plus something like 150k carry (don't quote me on that carry figure, only an analyst rn). Gets bumped up to 310k after the first 6 months (and I imagine some more carry?). Plus, you get some modest deal carry for anything you individually source. Not familiar enough with buyout comp to know if this is a significant haircut.
Would be interested to know if comp at GA is close to Insight?
Also interested in GA and TA comp
can someone speak to JMI
Same as BB IB, on average for analysts
How about associates?
1st year analyst at MF growth arm (KKR, bain cap, apax, permira, BX etc) , comp is in the 140-170 range depending on bonus
Did you get this position straight out of ug? If so, how did recruiting work?
Do you know assoc comp and hours?
