Deal term Partners will always make more than OPs. You can check Heidricks and struggles report to see the data.
Like one year behind..? And what makes you say it’s inflated? Those are just as real data points as what you’d get here.
PEI does an Operating Partner comp report yearly.
as an OP I'd concur, for most cases. particularly when it comes to mid-market firms you see it often. including carry distribution - tends to be more heavily weighted for deal team.
Great advice, appreciate the response
Deal team makes more money all day any day, but in LMM OP’s can have some pretty significant carry. So they can still make millions, but is their WLB better than the deal team folks? Probably depends… if you have the choice I’d say go deal team. Coming from an Ops guy here
Very interested as well. I’ve been looking to transition onto a deal team before becoming too specialized on the operating side. Otherwise, my next likely step would be an Operating Partner track in a few years
In PEPI, been primarily focused on M&A due diligence, value creation, and a few RX for the past 3 years
