I think you're overestimating PE comp and underestimating IB comp.

It's doable but a little tougher. Also tougher for you since you end up taking a near term pay cut.

Only some mega funds pay the illusive 350 and for a lot that's part stock (50k). Banking comp in the past couple years has met or exceeded PE comp at the assoc level. All in first year at my firm for a to a is 300 assuming you get top bucket.

It's very doable. Seen it happen a ton recently. Though would imagine much easier no later than your first associate year

How would that be a pay cut? Associate 200-250 all in. pe 300-350 or even 350-400

Probably not since I'm ib lol...

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
