Industry News
There’s been some very interesting industry reports lately. Notably, Jensen Partners put out a report focused on capital formation roles. The report found that private credit capital raising roles are paid a median of roughly $825k/year. Seems like fundraising can be a pretty nice seat!
Secondly, Johnson Associates put out a report where they highlight 2026 as “The Year of the Banker” - with Investment Banking Advisory payouts expected to climb 10% to 20% y/y. The same rise is anticipated for Equity Underwriting professionals as well, given the large slate of IPOs coming this year.

The State of AI in Finance Report
Last month, we published our 2Q26 State of AI in Finance Report.
We polled Investment Bankers, Private Equity investors, Private Credit professionals and many more about how they’re leveraging AI in the workforce so far. The report includes the AI labs that are winning, those falling behind, and the pros & cons enterprises are finding so far when trying to adopt AI.
Stay on the look out for more surveys over the coming months. These are going to be great opportunities to extend out your access period, particularly if you’re only on a 3-6 month plan.
A reminder on Access Lengths:
Access length may vary depending on the quality of a user’s submission.
For example, limited info around firm culture, or difficulty in our name verifying your submission, may result in lower access than standard periods.
Here’s the standard access length you can expect:
Interns/Students: 1 month of access for verified contributions.
Junior Sell Side Professionals: Up to 3 months of access for verified contributions.
Lower quality responses may garner just a month of access instead of 3 months
Senior Sell Side Professionals: Higher-earner sell-side professionals who answer fully will earn up to 6 months of access
Buyside Professionals: We have full discretion on whether you get 6 or 12 months of access, but it’s very dependent on the quality of your submission
