It depends what level you are targetting.

Whatever fund accounting position i can get coming out of 2 years of Audit

150 probably

fund acctng manager - youre in upper range if you get between 130 to 150k (Gen ii fund and ss&c)

If you are 1 to 2 yrs senior in audit, most likely u would have a senior role in fund admin. so if u get a 130k for a senior role, i think thats already competitive. But the experience might be worth it and then later target asset manager companies which pay carry interest and lucrative bonuses.

It depends. Consider your long term growth, the stability of the fund/asset manager, and total comp package. Generally if you are manager or above in a PE fund, comps are better especially if they offer carry interest. If you are young in the industry (less than 5 yrs), get the experience and then money would follow. if I were in your shoes and I had the opportunity to jump directly to pe fund, i would take the challenge.
