Bloomberg reported:
The most junior PE professionals saw base salaries increase by 14 percent to $125,000.Private equity is now an employer of choice for former politicians, however they don't enter at the junior level.
As for the PEU pay survey, Bloomberg included a caveat:
And that doesn’t include bonuses and carried interest, or their cut of deal profits.Private equity underwriters (PEU) fare well in tax reform, keeping their preferred carried interest taxation under both the House and Senate bills. Are they looking after their supporters, their future income or both?
Politicians Red and Blue love PEU.
