I’ve heard it is between 135-180 all in with BX being on the lower end and places like Ares/KKR/STWD on the higher end.
Can anyone confirm this?
BX on the lower end?
Thats what I’ve heard. Similar to the GS discount. Take with a grain of salt though as my info for BX is primarily based off this forum
BX Acq was on the higher end (100% bonus)--source from an ex-coworker when I was at STWD. See my comment below for STWD A1 comp.
175 base, 100 bonus, 75 in deferred compensation
so about tree fiddy
$85-100k base, $20-30k signing, 50-100% bonus.
These are the actual numbers haha. not sure why this is getting downvoted. $150k all in is expectation.
What about these firms for pre MBA associate (acquisitions)?
I know a person who had an AM analyst position at Carlyle a few years ago, he said 2nd year comp was 100 base + 100 bonus. So this sounds accurate
How about bb banks?
I meant for ib, corporate banking, and other front office roles
let me kindly open the door called the search bar within the IB forum
Wtf? IB, corporate banking, and other front office roles? Bailiff, club this man
Signed full time as an analyst (Not acquisitions) this last year at BX/STWD/Carlyle/KKR
The base is $95k and projected all in is $140 - $170k
so you're in BREDS?
That’s great! What’s your education? I’m currently doing masters in finance and getting out of property Accountant
STWD A1
85K + 15K Signing + 70% bonus
This is for analyst 1 not associate right? Also, any insight to Ares comp for analysts?
