Hi, talking to a recruiter for PE Associate role based out of Chicago. What is the base salary range? Initial offer is 110K with 50% bonus + sign on of around 30K. Is this a good offer for downtown Chicago? Appreciate any insights.

Extremely low. Similar shops with that fund size are giving associates 300k

Depends on the size of the fund

I’d expect at least >220k all in

smart

Yeah 165 (forget one time signing) is way too low for 1.8b fund

smart

Suuper low. That’s lower than tiny LMM shop money

smart

The fund size is approx $1.8bn

Thats their latest fund? Offer sounds a lowball in that case

Thank you. What would be a good range?

Is the fund you’re working for $1.8b or is that the total firm’s assets? Assuming the former but worth asking.

Thanks all for the insight, truly appreciated.

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.

Curious to know how effective referrals at PwC are and how exactly they work

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
