What position title at BX?
Something like new AVP
15-20%
Base salary is pretty comparable but bonuses at PE shops are way better. Benefits are also way way better (all of my vision, dental, health insurance was 100% covered). Your annual raise is less and your bonus is more likely to fluctuate dramatically based on fund performance. Promotions are also less guaranteed.
Promotions usually only happen if there is enough budget to support it - so if someone leaves or gets promoted above you. Maybe 3-4 years at the most. Annual raises are small - 5% at the max but bonuses are 15-20% if the fund(s) hit their goals.
