Senior 🐠, those aiming for MD/Partner or the industry equivalent of such roles, what type of comp questions do you get asked by recruiters. How do you respond?

I get asked what it would take for me to move - I tend not to answer except in broad ranges, but I am normally transparent about my own Comp and expected trajectory as I think it helps me.

like

It does - but early on I want to make sure something is worth discussing more.

I can always pull out my expected trajectory if I don’t see the same medium term upside

Total comp also. But I always get specifics on the variables as well. Risk with variable is much higher in industry vs. consulting. And I want to know if the criteria / success measures are objective etc.
