Junior investing roles at General Atlantic
General Atlantic is a global growth equity firm. Its postings say it “manages approximately $126 billion in assets under management, inclusive of all strategies, as of March 31, 2026, with more than 900 professionals in 20 countries across five regions”. It recruits an associate class by year: in June 2025 it said it “does not plan to conduct formal interviews or extend offers this year for the Associate Class of 2027.” (as quoted by Banking Dive). In the US on November 11, 2026 it had two junior roles posted in New York: Associate, Life Sciences, and Analyst, Portfolio Management, which is a fund and portfolio reporting team and not a deal team.
General Atlantic’s board listed 13 postings worldwide on November 11, 2026.
General Atlantic growth equity salary
Posted base: General Atlantic’s Associate, Life Sciences posting in New York offers “a base salary of $150,000 –160,000”, read from its own board on November 11, 2026 (posted April 27, 2026). It asks for 2–5 years of post-graduate experience, at least 2 in life sciences, so it is a sector-specialist band and not the base for the generalist associate class, which is not posted. The other New York posting, Analyst, Portfolio Management, is a reporting role and not an investing seat, so its pay is not shown here.
