Why New York postings carry numbers
Several of these ranges are labelled as applying to New York. Audax’s reads “For New York City only”, Golub Capital’s “For Illinois and New York Only”, and Carlyle says its figure “is specific to New York”. Elsewhere the same firm may post no figure: Vista’s Chicago posting for its 2027 associate class states a range, and its Austin posting for the same class does not.
A New York posting can also carry a higher number. Partners Group posts the same private credit associate role at $155,000–$175,000 in Broomfield, Colorado and $170,000–$195,000 in New York. And not every New York posting carries one: Ardian’s five investing internships in the city state no pay.
What is not in New York
The two associate classes posted for 2027 are elsewhere: Vista’s in Chicago and Austin, and Summit Partners’ in Boston and Menlo Park. Apollo’s one posted junior investing role is in El Segundo, California, and Partners Group’s private equity associate role is in Broomfield, Colorado.
Blackstone describes itself in its postings as “the world’s largest alternative asset manager”, investing across real estate, private equity, credit, infrastructure, life sciences, growth equity, secondaries and hedge funds. On November 11, 2026 its two job boards carried no US private equity analyst, associate or summer analyst role. The junior investing roles it did post in the US were in Blackstone Credit & Insurance (BXCI) in New York, and every one asked for prior experience.

Carlyle’s postings describe it as “a global investment firm with $485 billion of assets under management, across 678 investment vehicles as of June 30, 2026”, and give Global Credit about $211 billion and direct lending about $14 billion as of the same date. On November 11, 2026 it had 2-Year Associate roles and a liquid credit research associate role live in New York. It had no US private equity investing role: its private equity postings were product specialist, fund management and technology roles.

Bain Capital is a private investment firm established in 1984, with businesses in Private Equity, Growth & Venture, Capital Solutions, Credit & Capital Markets and Real Assets.

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.
