Given how associate salaries have increased across the street ($175-225k), is it still worth it to jump to the Buyside (given how working hours have blurred over the pandemic)? Is the Buyside keeping up with salary hikes as well?

Going buyside isn’t a short term decision.

How much you’ll make for the next 2 years should come behind long-term comp and whether you think you’ll enjoy it

In general, any comp increases that consulting firms will provide, PE firms will do better

Agreed. I was talking about IB. Given the uncertainty about cap gains taxes (which would feed into carry at most PE shops), how much would comp differ? The deal activity last year and this has been robust on the sell side and therefore bonuses have been GRAND at even the lowest levels.

Wow great question actually

My contract is ending 12/31/22 and can’t be extended legally according to our CFO. Worked in various increasingly responsible roles at the same organization as a FT employee in IT for 17 years and then took a buyout and chilled doing side gigs for 18 months then came back as temporary contract staff for the last 3.8 years as Business Analyst and Technical Writer. Curious to know if I’m being unreasonable in expecting my next Senior BA role to pay in the $110-130k range in the DC Metro Area.

Sanity check. Going to preface this by saying I'm not in a rush. I wanted to get some good consulting experience so joined EY out of UG. Got early promo, but I've reached the point where I'm no longer growing (learning) much on my current team. I've become very interested in PE and want to give that a shot. I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?
