<p>You won’t even come close to this, unless you mean 3-5 years post mba.
3 Years of experience in IB would put you at a 1st year associate at best, assuming you were promoted to associate without an mba.
Base salary would be around $125k, bonus might be $125k in a good year, putting you at $250k all in. </p>
<p>As cbreeze said, PE isn’t something you start out in. Getting a PE job straight out of undergrad is difficult. If you’re hoping to work in private equity, your best bet is to do two years in investment banking and then applying to private equity firms.
Compensation in PE will vary wildly from firm to firm. If you’re at a place like Apollo or TPG, compensation will be vary different than a boutique.</p>
<p>Also, most hedge funds do not require 100 hour work weeks.
Depending on the type of fund and your role there, the hours worked will often be less than either private equity or investment banking.</p>
