I work in a startup hedge fund in London with two of us. A pm with 10+ years of experience and myself with 5years of experience (BCG, PE, into this role). We have done well this year but I am paid aggressively below market and do not have carry. Comp benchmarks are challenging as difficult to find an apples to apples comparison. What do you guys think is a reasonable base, bonus, % of carry in this position?

Yea I was going to say this. Hard to see what the London market pays though. Its a little harder to find research and information on that. Do you have anyone at work that you are close with that might be willing to share what they make so you have a benchmark?

I think a lot of the advice here is American...personally, those numbers are pretty hard to find in London but my ballpark is usually to take whatever is 60% of what's being offered in the US. UK is drastically lower and recession is looming. You may want to network and get some offers to get a true sense of what the market is offering for your role

I would go for 7-15% of the base salary. If you deliver equal effort and result, I think it is just that you ask for good amount of bonus.

Hmm. I'd say 8%-13% of your base. Did you ask for an increase? What's your base right now, if you don't mind me asking?

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
