I graduated undergrad in 2019. I used to think 50k was a solid start as a salary. Not too high not too low. Now it seems like even 70k is poverty wage on this app lol.

These people are so out of touch with reality. The classism is insane. ~50k is the average wage across all workers. People are raising whole families on 50k. It's not luxury by any means, but for a young 20 something, it's not poverty either.

Comparison is the thief of joy - I am at 145 and I think that’s low

70k is a great starting wage for a single person. Many jobs out of undergrad still begin around 50k.

It’s average, and this app is anything but. However, it’s recoverable. Just start looking for a new job- you’ll probably find one at 1-2 years out of school.

They paid me 40k when I started working. I wasn’t in consulting and I also didn’t know how much I should have been making. Research helps

I was quite proud to have 70k when I got it.

I still see it as a good salary even though I make more than that, though.

First time in negotiation but offer is for $25k more, $90k-> $115k. Guaranteed 25% bonus. They seem hard to budge but is that worth a jump? I know it’s about an extra $1300/month for base

Thinking of what else could be negotiated

like

VC associate offer evaluation:
210k base
30% bonus
20k signing bonus
1.5 million carry dollars at work (400m final close with 250k for every 50m increase up to 500m fund max) with 7 year vesting period (ouch)
Completely remote with encouragement for juniors to travel and build relationships around the country.

Just wanted to get a feel for whether or not this is a good offer as I don’t know many people in the industry.

Happy to answer any general questions about the process as well!

Thanks!

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation).
