What is Google? How does it differ from Yahoo?

You can google the first. Hours are similar depending on the size of fund/what your consulting hours are. Comp is way better. I have friends who are 3 years out of UG in PE making $350K all in at mid size funds

You need to put 2-3 years at a solid IB first working ridiculous hours, and then only a fraction of IB analysts can make it to PE. It’s not a sure bet at all...

Why don’t you google the basics first then ask more targeted questions after you do your due diligence?

Depends. PE includes everything from VC to buyout

PE is basically investing private money into struggling companies, then selling those companies after 3-5 years at a profit. 10-15 deals per year depending on size of PE shop.

Hours are probably around 70-90 hours depending on if you're doing a deal or not. Probably also highly dependent on size of fund.

Pay is great, an associate (3-5 years) at a smaller fund can probably clear $200k, larger fund can probably clear $300-400k.

Incredibly hard to get into. You're only bet is go back to school for MBA->2 years are investment banks-> recruit for PE

OR maybe with MBB experience.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
