I’ve taken a couple initial calls with private equity firms. I was wondering if 2.5 YOE (1.5 tech, 1 strategy/DDs) is enough to push to start as an associate? If so, what is the average comp for an associate at a lower/middle market PE firm? If not, average comp for an analyst?

Yeah associate. Except you need to realize there’s a distinction between pre and post MBA associates.

Yes I’m going for pre-mba thanks for highlighting the distinction

Don't those guys want people with mbas?
And from what I know....pe is the hottest field out there for finance bros

Thanks A1 that was helpful. I’m not actively recruiting rn. I just had a few PE recruiters reach out so now ill only continue with ones where I have a chance at associate

What about your tech experience attracted PE firms? Is it consulting?

It was tech consulting including digital strategy and tech solutions. But obviously not as relevant as my current strategy/DD role

Yea if you're in the right firm, you should be good. Realistically, you'll know if you're getting headhunter emails..

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?
