A friend got an offer from a large PE fund in New York.

500,000 for three years plus bonus.

Damn.

Will graduate from ugrad this coming year.

Like I've said I've verified this from other sources including a few MDs in the finance industry.

This is not entirely uncommon. Star quant analysts at hedge funds make more than this as do those in the actuary sciences - so long as they pass the requisite examinations.

The high-lvl actuaries are in high demand because the tests are pretty hard to pass. So there is a premium attached for those who have the qualifications.

Though I heard the first three tests are pretty easy. I know someone who placed very well in the putnam exam and passed to lvl 5 or whatever really easily.

My friend told me that the interview was pretty laid back. Typical interview questions like "describe three attributes that would fit you" etc. He did mention that they did ask a few bizzare quant questions.

One of them that he found memorable was

"What is the degree formed by hands of a clock at ____ time."

The question itself isn't too hard, but he said it kindof took him off guard because it was thrown in randomly and because he had to answer it within a reasonable amount of time.

Right, but I heard that once you make it to 2nd or final round, some firms will give you a 10k and make you construct an LBO model or something.

From my brother in law who has been in private equity in New York for about 10 years now...

top PE firms dont even hire out of college, and even when they do hire someone with an undergrad degree after a couple years of work, it is typically for 2 years pre-MBA, then they get kicked out. Also, $500k/yr right out of undergrad??? i would definitely call bs on that...

the top firms probably pay their analysts (who have 2 or 3 yrs of work experience already) total comp of 250-350k at most...

It's 500k/3yrs so that's a bit more believable but not by much. I also think a few private equity companies hire straight out of undergrad but probably only if the candidate has 1 or more summer internships in banking.

The thread itself is not absurd. I wanted to spark discussion about PE not whether or not my friend's salary is legit.

Regardless it's been a very entertaining thread just to see you get so worked up.

btw PE Funds do hire out of Ugrad. You are probably more familiar with Venture Capital Funds - a variety of PE which are smaller and recruit from more experienced hires. However, large firms, such as Blackstone, do very much hire straight from ugrad.

MBAs are a stepping stone. Especially in the finance world. They teach you nothing you don't already know.

Plus if you work for a prestigious firm the chances of admission to HBS, GSB, Wharton are very very high.

BCG for example, which is only MC, boasts an 80% acceptance rate at top 5 b-schools.

Compared with med or law school, MBA admissions are pretty TTT.

I suspected PE salaries were high but I had no idea they were at this level. Seems possible though. I know somebody at KKR (no MBA, two years analyst at a top ibank) who has only said he's making "a lot more" than he did at the ibank. I wonder if he and his buddies read up on law firm salaries when they need a good laugh.

The progression goes as follows from year one to year three (I have an updated spreadsheet from a friend who works at Blackstone)

Year one:

Year two:

70 Base 80 Bonus

Year three:

100 Base 120 Bonus

500K exact.

No, mine is a spreadsheet of base and bonuses for a bunch of different PE firms in 2004. I think a lot of it is based on rumor and conjecture. I think Ibanking analysts compiled it based on 2nd hand info.

well, i'd like to confirm stuff i heard from headhunters. as i mentioned above, my gf is interviewing for pe firms. she said that mega funds like blackstone and kkr have already m ade their offers, and now all the other funds, ranging from very good to pretty small are interviewing people right after labor day.

typically, a successful applicant would go through how many rounds? 1st-2nd-final? and what is the time commitment for these rounds? whole day for final?

I really don't know too much about how the interviews go. Typically people go through 1st - 2nd - Final and then some sort of informal dinner round before they make their decisions.

My guess is that the smaller firms might be different. Maybe more careful and nuanced interviews since they probably care more about team dynamics and not fucking up by selecting someone who won't produce. But this is just speculation on my part.

Finals shouldn't take a whole day.

It would be the best hookup ever. She makes shitloads of cash, doesn't have anytime to spend it.

And you get sex out of the deal to.

Sweeet.

There isn't a single analyst at Blackstone in the PE group that came right out of college.

edit: I take that back. There are 2 according to their website.

The Asians in Wharton's specialty programs (Hunstman, etc.) are incredibly toolish.

But at least they're rich tools.

Do the other firms vary widely from that or is that like a standard market rate? PE has only gotten hotter so it's a lot more likely these numbers could go up.
