Hundreds of Wall Street Comp Datapoints are Flowing In

Welcome back!

Remember, as any questions arise, do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] for support.

Let’s get into this week’s recap, the new Anonymity feature we shipped this week, and Interviews.

What’s happening on Buyside Hub:

1) We’ve added a new anonymity feature:

This is ideal for people at smaller shops!

We’ve updated our “Add your Compensation” path, with a key change below. When you uncheck the “tie my compensation data to my firm” button, your individual contribution is pooled into the broader industry you select (private equity, private credit, etc.) and is only pulled into median firm compensation data when there’s more than just a couple datapoints.

This means we are ramping our ability to analyze compensation by industry, with the goal of shipping these analytics by the end of bonus season.

As a reminder, once you open your account on Buyside Hub you get immediate access to 1) Our Job Board and 2) Our LBO Model Template (It’s at the bottom of our home page)

So in order to get full access (access to our comp data, culture analysis and the message board) you can either contribute a) verifiable buyside data (for 12 months of access) or b) sell side comp data (temporarily, for access through March), or join a monthly or annual plan depending on your needs.

2) Interviews:

Introducing interviews! You now have the ability to write about the shops you’ve interviewed at. This is an important step in continuing to provide the buyside community with information they can leverage during their recruiting processes.

Within your interview submissions, you’ll be able to submit as much info as you’re comfortable sharing, including the role, industry, interview difficulty, and interview questions that were asked.

Hop on Buyside Hub and help us build out our interview database 🤝 

3) The Most interesting jobs on Buyside Hub so far:

The Buyside Hub job board is regularly updated, but here’s some of the jobs on our site thus far.

• Goldman is hiring a Leveraged Finance Associate

• Adams Street is hiring a Primary Investments Associate

• Antares is hiring a Credit Underwriting Associate

You can view our job board for free to get the full list of roles. We’re still early innings here, and are planning on including more companies in the coming weeks.

4) We’re continuing to onboard more folks and datapoints are continuing to pile up:

Thank you all for contributing and welcome to our new joiners!

While this is all very exciting, we expect February to be our busiest month, with a significant amount of bonus-season and compensation survey related datapoints flowing into Buyside Hub.

This has been a great first week, it’s crazy this website just didn’t fundamentally exist two weeks ago. I’m really satisfied with the progress thus far, but continue to reach out as needed.

Talk next week,

Harry
