Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What insights does the Digital Compensation Dashboard provide?
The Digital Compensation Dashboard gives you access to real-time data gathered from across our network, including placements we’ve made, searches we’ve been retained for, and survey responses. Unlike static reports, our data is continuously refreshed and reflects today’s market, not just historical trends.
Backed by thirty years of specialized experience in alternative asset management, this dashboard is an extension of our niche expertise. Our dashboard allows for precise, on-demand compensation analysis across the alternative asset management landscape. Our purpose is to empower you to have informed compensation discussions, evaluate your firm's market competitiveness, and shape your career for success. By engaging with the dashboard, you’re not just accessing data, you’re partnering with JSB Partners for deeper market intelligence and tailored consulting support.
How are positions defined within the Digital Compensation Dashboard?
Positions in our report are defined through a combination of experience level, firm structure, and department size, as responsibilities often vary across organizations. Generally, Associates have 2–4 years of experience, Senior Associates 4–7, Assistant Controllers 7–10, Controllers 10–15, and Senior Controllers 15+ years, with CFOs varying based on firm size and complexity. Each title is further evaluated within the interquartile range for years of experience and adjusted for differences in team structure and scope of responsibility, recognizing that titles and compensation do not always align perfectly across firms.
I earn more or less than the figures shown. What does the median represent?
The median represents the midpoint of all reported compensation data for 2024 and 2025, meaning half of professionals in that position earn above the figure and half earn below it. We focus on the median, along with the 25th and 75th percentiles, to provide a more complete picture of market variation. These ranges help illustrate not only what’s typical, but also how compensation shifts with experience, firm complexity, and performance expectations. Seeing where your compensation falls within this range can offer insight into the overall caliber, competitiveness, and structure relative to the broader market.
