London Private Equity Jobs

When looking at the differences between the US and UK, the results of the survey revealed some interesting facts. Unlike our findings in the hedge fund industry, where employees in the UK earn higher compensation, the players in the private equity and venture capital industries in the US and UK are earning similar total compensations.


Private Equity Jobs in London


The base salaries of professionals in the UK are 6 percent more than their US counterparts; the bonus package in the US, however, makes up for the 6 percent difference. The compensation gap widens when considering the cost of living as it currently costs 25 percent more to live in London than in NYC. Another interesting fact to note is that the vacation benefit in the UK is greater by 1 ½ weeks.


Private Equity UK Balance


Professionals, both in the US and UK, claimed that they are able to strike a good balance between their personal and professional lives. More than 53 percent of the respondents from these two countries claimed that they are doing a better than average job of balancing their lives.

About 20 percent in each claimed that their work/life balance was excellent. None of the respondents in the UK claimed that they were poorly balancing their work/life balance and only 3 percent in the US were doing a poor job of striking a balance their lives.

...your service has definitely helped me to see what kind of options are out there and get in touch with some recruiters, and without having to sort through multiple websites.

The position I accepted was originally posted on Job Search Digest more than a year ago. I got to know the firm and the timing wasn't right for me to make a move. As they raised a new fund I was on the "short list" and managed to secure the offer.

We are very pleased with the quality of responses we have received ... We have received a great response to our ad on Job Search Digest, and feel that we have enough resumes to carefully consider for the position.
