Is there a reason for the huge weighting towards bonus as a % of comp in the buy side? I would assume it is because if the fund underperforms then it doesn’t have to pay the bonus— but I also thought that these bonuses were pretty much expected? Do they vary by individual performance?

No one works in finance for the salary. Salary doesn’t get you anywhere besides provide cash flow for minimum expenses throughout the year. My 165 bonus is a guarantee. The carry is how the fund does

Tangent: but is it good to bank on carry? I hear from some PE counterparts that carry can be next to nothing if you get fired / pushed out which many VPs do (at least to my knowledge)

Yep. 100m of management fees lol

Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
