Private Equity Starting Salary

Headhunter Talks of Private Equity Starting Salaries

Private equity firms are in a competition with Wall Street to offer top salaries for top talent. With all the money private equity firms reaped in the boom years, buyout recruiters had a lot of money to recruit with. Private equity headhunter, Brian Korb, talks about the huge starting salaries being offered.

From CNBC: "Korb said private equity is able to attract the cream of the crop – On average a new recruit who goes to a private equity firm receives $450,000 in total compensation. That compares with $300,000 in total compensation for Wall Street.

And then there’s the bonus – at private equity you can expect $250,000 your first year, while Wall Street pays a measly $40,000 - $60,000"
