compensation

My core group of buddies from undergrad all went different routes out of college. I didn't real estate acquisition and development, one did med school, and one is in medical sales. Obviously, the one that went the med school route is going to be anywhere from 200k-300k as a doc after resi in four years. What I found wild is how much the field of medical sales comps at. My one buddy is at 100k base with 60k-70k in commission. From what I understand this is not uncommon. I enjoy real estate for more than the money, but I was under the impression that if your on the principal side, there's not a

What is an expected range for 1st year Assoc. comp at a good GP or Pension in Toronto? Data points on a per firm basis would also be helpful. Split between base and bonus would also be helpful

Hi everyone, I'm finishing a master's in finance this year and my goal is to work in IB BB/EB in Madrid. I've done research but couldn't find much info about total compensation in Madrid (signing+base+bonus). I hope you guys could give some insight. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Been curious about this for a while and thought I'd give it a shot here. I see so many different numbers thrown around (some outrageous and unreasonable) for compensation at CVP, and so many people just saying they pay super well with zero data points. I was wondering if any of you had information from reliable sources at what compensation looks like for analyst, associate, and principal, as I imagine for MD+ compensation is wildly variable. I heard from many friends the 50K signing for Anl1 is definitely true, but was wondering what compensation might look like for An2/3, Asso 1-3

I am starting at a new shop in a week. Will be working on real estate acquisitions, real estate development and small venture capital opportunities. My new employer is offering me a low-interest line of credit to co-invest in deals, to be used at my discretion. The line tops out at $25k/year, which for reference is about a third of the base comp. The interest and principal on the line get paid out as the deals perform. I am not very familiar with the various co-investment structures out there so I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of structure and what some of the

So I hear a lot about how some banks have good comp or bad comp, but what are the actual numbers here for analysts in all years for both salary and bonus? Wondering based on the type of bank. From my understanding, this is what 1st year analysts are GENERALLY paid, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or off (some are definitely dart throws). Insight on how it scales until the associate level would be helpful as well. Thanks. MM: salary 80k, bonus 40-60k boutiques: salary 80k, bonus 40-60k bulge: salary salary 80-90k, bonus 30-50k elite boutiques: salary 80-90k, bonus 60-80k

Hi guys, I'm an average undergrad student(20 yo) from an average uni in Bangalore, India.

I've been curious for a while how PE partnerships are structured in terms of compensation. Do partners (real GP % owning partners) own a % of the GP and accrue a % of the carry every year? What are the vesting terms for ownership and how does that usually work out? Does a PE fund put a fixed % of the management fee aside for paying employees or themselves? Really curious to hear from any PE/HF partners here on how partnership terms are structured.

My real estate experience consists of +4 years in MF acquisitions. About 3 months ago, I left my old company on good terms and transitioned over to the development side (MF). I work for a small shop with a good group of guys who are intent on growing. Culture is good, work/life balance is good but pay is definitely on the low side with my experience. I don't have a slice of the pie and bonus is a lump sum for each deal closed. If we close any deals next year, it will be towards the very end of the year. If successful, I will be in the low 100's next year, all-in comp. Recently, I was

I am in the position of finding deals for a PE firm. The agreement is that I will get a piece of the equity upon consummation. We're looking at middle market companies ($500M to $3B in EV). My role will be to be a board member and/or run the company once acquired. I am an expert in the vertical. Q1: What should be the percent of deal upside (i.e. percent of value above acquisition cost) that someone gets for helping source + operate and/or oversee (i.e. chairing the board)? Q2: What other compensation should I be asking for (i.e. retainer, success fee...)?

Afternoon, guys. I read through the comp survey, which was awesome, but I want to know if anyone has any first or second hand knowledge of the pay scale and/or comp structure at various levels at Jamestown - Analyst, Associate, VP, etc? No worries if not since this is very specific, but I figured I would ask.

Hi everyone - I've been trying to work out the compensation levels across europe in MBB. So far based on the information provided here on the forum and also through other channels I know the following for entry level positions (pre-MBA): UK: around 50k pound +/- 10% NL: 50-55k euro DE: 70k euro CH: 95-100k euro Nordics: 50-60k euro Now I am completely in the dark regarding Belgium, Luxembourg, France and most importantly Central Europe/Eastern Europe Region/Balkans Some people say it is 1/3 of Germany, some people say more some less... I've heard that purchasing power is actually one of the

Everyone is always so concerned about group prestige and firm prestige, this seems to stem largely from an eagerness to move over to the buy-side and get into a top firm/MF etc... If you are an individual who wants to stay in banking when does your firm and group "prestige" on the street start to matter in regard to compensation? I.e. if you are a VP at a BB in a lower performing M&A group versus a VP at the same BB or a different BB in a higher performing M&A group in regard to larger aggregate deal amount and "clout" and "prestige" - does this mean that the "better" M&A group is compensating

Hi all! I am thinking of doing a further study and moving into quant space on the sell side. Could anyone give a picture of the career perspective as a Quant Analyst in London? For example, how quickly it could climb up along the career ladder like analyst, asso, vp, d, md. And what is the general / average compensation structure like currently at different levels? Many thanks!

got an SA offer for Nomura IB CFS (cap markets) and want to know more about their strongest teams and comp. i understand from Pan European Monkey 's great post (https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/20-most-fr…) that LevFin is a strength -- i'm aiming for that and expressed + was assessed on it during my interviews -- are there any other particularly strong teams (in regards to dealflow + exits)? i know their base salary is above-market, but how do their bonuses / all-in compare to other banks?

How common or realistic is it to negotiate your first year compensation coming out of undergrad? Does your GPA or graduating with honors have any effect? Can you bring other offers from different companies into consideration? Also, say you interned with a company your sophomore and junior summer - should you expect to earn more than somebody new to the company in the same position? Mostly asking for traditional corporate finance roles (I don't assume it changes with LDPs?) And also corporate development.

Hi, I am going through my first transition now, and I am curious why the comp is usually discussed in an "all-in" format. Isn't the bonus supposed to be discretionary or based on some formula depending on the performance (and determined at the year-end)? Why do we set the bonus amount at the beginning? Is it just for the first year?

I was recently offered a position to join the valuations desk of a MF PE Shop. I am from a nontarget and my ultimate goal is to eventually go to a M7 program for my MBA. Would taking this BO job hinder my ability to make that transition? Also, does anyone have any numbers into how compensation is paid out in non-junior level roles? (How much associates, and Directors make). Debating if I should take this role for the prestige or go work in a CF role for a Fortune 10 Company. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I run a team of five and am responsible for c-suite and MD level relationships at large LPs.

Hello all, Long time lurker and first time poster. I just wanted to share how much WSO has helped me. 4 Years ago I was a no-name at a no-name university and had nearly failed out of High-school. I decided one day to sit down and change my life (after receiving a LOUD wake-up call). So, I did what any money-hungry little freshman would do and literally googled, "what jobs make the most money?" My more naive self found that there were surgeons and hedge fund managers pulling in the dough, and I was not about to go to med school. I ended up turning my life around I lost 20lbs, getting a

As the title suggests, would greatly appreciate it if someone can shed some light into the firm (i.e. deal flow, comp, exit opps, reputation, etc). Understand they're one of the few renewables focused advisory firms in the US (aside from Marathon Capital and Greentech) but that's pretty much it given there is limited information on the web.

I am a college senior who was recently given an offer to work as an Acquisitions analyst at a ~$5B REPE firm in NYC. I was told the comp will be "market" and don't have much experience with the RE industry/RE forums so I am not sure what market comp out of UG is exactly. Google searches, payscale, glassdoor, etc. haven't been very helpful in this regard. Is the compensation comparable to "regular" PE firms? Some examples/shared experiences would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone, I have been lurking on this forum for quite some time now. Throughout most of my time as an undergraduate, I have aimed for roles in investment banking, but it appears that an REPE analyst role has fallen into my lap and I have been trying to gauge what compensation is for the past few months. I have read the previous compensation threads and was left with many more questions than answers as it appears that compensation is very firm-dependent. However, in my research, I came across the following compensation study: http://www.rhodesassociates.com/wp-content/upload…

Does anyone have numbers on current base / bonus rates for HF analysts out of IB programs (1-2 years out of college)? Since HF pay is less uniform than banking / PE gigs, it'd be useful to collect some data points. Given the variability in HF pay, it would be great if you could include AUM / fund size as well as a description of the fund if possible (single vs multi manager, long vs long/short, etc) so we can get a sense of what the current figures are like across the board.

Hi everyone. I wanted to get some candid advice from all of you about a job I'm thinking about taking. It is a VC role at a top-tier firm. I'm being directly hired as an associate (so I'll skip the two-year analyst role). My only concern is that I believe that the salary is slightly low. I'll basically be making a little less than 100K on an annual basis. I know that this is a unique opportunity but I have a number of banking offers that would allow me to make your typical BB type salary. However, I strongly want to be in VC long-term. This VC role would clearly set me up to be a partner well

Signed a offer at a PE fund early this year for 2019. Didn't negotiate at all, and just signed because I was so excited and they were excited about me. Now I'm starting to realize I was a little bit low-balled compared to other comparable funds (didn't even ask for a signing bonus). Is it OK to try to renegotiate at this point? I was thinking about going to the headhunter first and getting their thoughts.

I've been hearing of these M&A groups (not transaction services, but DCF as in post McColl Partners acquisition) at consulting places like Deloitte.

Hello all. I'm a Director in a MM PE fund and my review is coming up. I've got the Heidrick & Struggles PE compensation report for 2016, but are there any other reports/analyses you would suggest in order to get a sense for what market base/bonus/carry is (by fund size, AUM, region, etc.)?

Hello World! Compensation in the PE world can be a bit of a black box. I sometimes get approached by folks who are perplexed by their compensation packages at a middle market PE fund. There is little consistency even across funds of the same size. On the surface, this doesn't exactly make a whole lot of sense. After all, it is easy to calculate a PE firm's revenue: simply take the fund size, multiple by 2%, and there you have a pretty good estimate. Right? Wrong! Here are a couple of the dynamics at play "under the hood" that can have a profound impact on the PE firm's revenue and therefore

Hey guys, Thanks for being helpful on this forum. Right now I've received an offer to lateral to another bank in a busier part of my industry. I think I'm the best candidate they're going to hire. What can I expect in the form of compensation / bonus for a lateral? They've provided a small stipend for moving expenses but I'm wondering if they'll pay me for the bonus that I'm leaving behind at my current firm. Is there a precedent for this? Do you know how laterals were previously compensated? Also - do you know if they kept their title or lost time on that during the transition?
