I wanted to flag so others can know, I live in mcol and I just received an offer for 120k base and a 15k signing bonus. I have three years of experience. I asked for a signing bonus and a 110k salary. If you are a senior, you should definitely be applying and just see what comes up. Crazy the market for seniors right now

Congratulations! I heard that PE firms have many openings, but not many people have the experience. Good luck with your new job.

Thanks. The reason I posted is because I think public accounting firms try to tell you the best exit ops are at the manager level. I really believe they are at the senior associate level right now. I have another friend who is a senior who does tax provisions who signed for 110k. The jobs are out there, you just need to be applying

Thank you for sharing!

I’ve been thinking about getting into investment banking- what made you decide to make the jump? And how did you find your new position?

How did you apply for the position? Just through the company website?

I applied to everything on LinkedIn, indeed, and Glassdoor. I was called back within a day for most positions. The first question for most was what are your salary expectations so it’s pretty quick to weed out companies. Just for context, one of the companies told me they don’t pay more than 70k for seniors. Most were between 100k and 110k. If you use a recruiter, the company usually pays a fee of like 30% of the base pay to the recruiter. Recruiters make like 20-30k by placing you. So by applying yourself and asking for $xx base plus a sign on bonus, it’s still cheaper than if they hired someone who used a recruiter…

Which company are you joining?

How did you go about finding this position? Aside from LinkedIn and recruiters where else can you find them? I’m actively looking now

I opened the list of all the PE firms in my area and open their web but sadly many of them don’t even have a career page and don’t even post on LinkedIn or Indeed. Not sure if they just use the recruiters for hiring.

What position and industry is this? May have missed. It’s private equity senior position?
