I am an analyst at a PE fund and don’t know much about other PE analyst program lifestyle, comp, structure, hidden perks, that add up- wondering more than just base/bonus for comp in order to compare. Any numbers even if simple help. WSO Database is unreliable and poor from outdated and random analyst position numbers ruining the data, as well as not encompassing other benefits (or people being lazy during entry). I have lots of MS so can’t post anonymously for my specific comp (I want this thread to be as specific as possible)- will make another acc and add my comp anonymously with as much info as I’m comfortable sharing.
In short I’m asking you to list:
Fund name, size, location, group, strategy, if you recruited there FT or were an SA conversion, if SA how many people were in the program, offer conversion rate, how many analysts work full time and what are chances of becoming associate:
(example: KKR, 12B, NYC, TMT, FT hire, 12 analysts, basically don’t do anything stupid and you can be an associate)
Hours worked typical basis, distribution of work, culture, overall satisfaction with type of work, amount of sourcing involved:
(Example: 80, ~30/40 compiling info/DD, ~20 analysis and model build outs, ~10 sourcing, ~10-20 general industry research. Happy, wish I could do more sourcing though—sike)
(Example: New platforms (40), Portco work (20), Sourcing/Industry Research (20), distribution is great where it’s at just need to get promotion to get better tbh. Also WFH 2x a week because low FaceTime culture)
Base, bonus, signing, relo/housing, other benefits/perks/what’s comped:
(Example: 95 base, 105 bonus, 20 signing, 5 relo, gym comped, food after 6 comped, ubers comped, lots of firmwide events, pricy swag about ~500/year, choice of David Solomon or Jamie Dimons nutsack in exchange for more deal flow, free WFH setup)
Get as granular as you are comfortable please!This really varies in my opinion and having more visible lifestyle, comp, etc for analyst programs would be nice (like how it is with banking). In my opinion there’s a bit of a social hit when you go in to these programs and maybe there isn’t so much infrastructure that some things get ignored. Let me know what you think and feel free to comment more qualitatively, just try to be structured and organized and maybe I’ll create a workable excel doc to update.
I think you should check out this forum it might be helpful for you- https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/pe-analyst-groupchat
