Looking into details of the traditional search budget. It's mid###-###-#### Assume 2-year search:

1. Is it still $500K for a solo searcher, or has inflation helped push that up to $600K?
2. How does the breakdown work, especially how much % or $ should be allocated to
(i) legal and diligence
(ii) search tools and brokers?

Any rough guidance would be super helpful! Thanks!



*December 2023 Update*: I have found many >$600K due to cost of living increases as well as the increases in more experienced, post-MBA searchers. E.g., $600K for fresh MBA from top 10 program and $670K for a highly experienced searcher. Looking at salary trends###-###-#### , it makes sense that search prices have gone up too.
