Say you were laid off as a Principal at a MM fund earning $250K TC.
If you were offered $140K TC for an Associate role at KKR/Blackstone, with the Senior Associates on the team having less experience than you but are shown favoritism, would you take it or keep looking?

There is no chance I would take a job for $110k less unless I’ve been unemployed for years. I also don’t know anyone in this industry out of a job for years.

What is this

KKR is likely 100% bonus if you are truly front office investing so still step up for you for TC.

Is this Europe or Canada or something? Why are the numbers so low

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years. We have $300k in non-retirement funds, $260k of which will go towards acquiring the house. We have 2 kids and will probably reduce (not maxing) retirement accounts next 18 months to do this. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.
