I’m about half-way through the interview process with a hedge fund and am looking for advice. I currently work on the sell side in equity research with 1 year in my current role and coming up on 6 total YOE. I’ve done 2 rounds of interviews and we’ve talked about comp numbers at a high level. If I progress to the offer stage, he said I would get “points” in the fund. How common is this in hedge fund offers for newer team members? The fund has ~$300M AUM and has beat their index each year.

I don't think it's super weird but I guess it would depend on what the point structure would look like and the kind of numbers you're expecting...

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
