Your experience, comp and exit options heavily depend on the role you take up, ie investment or ops.

Investment team - rainmakers of the firm, get the highest pay. For example, as an Analyst I’m probably pulling the salary a consultant at MBB makes, but my work hours are super erratic too. 5 AM calls on a Monday with a US based CEO of a potential portfolio company is a reality. Generally I have to schedule my weekday life around my work, but weekends are 100% no work (unless there’s a deal underway or an exit happening in the fund.)

For me exit ops would be in Hedge funds, Venture Capital, Management consulting, Investment Banking, other Private Equity firms, Corporate finance roles in the portfolio companies or other companies, and the list goes on. This is the POV of an investment team member, ops folks have a totally different experience.

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
