I haven’t tried those types of funds tbh - my only concern is getting pigeon holed into an execution role!

My team does this inhouse but you would be leading other asset classes as well unless you go straight to a Real Estate fund. What are your expectations for compensation?

Leading on the M&A legal side? Or from the business side?

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number.

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
