My 2¢ - at that level, fund performance matters much more than size. Carry as a % of total comp is significant, but if your fund doesn’t clear an 8% hurdle rate then it’s meaningless...

$200k would be unheard of.

TC is between $500k to $2m depending on fund size and performance. Granted, $2m is rare for this level but possible.

To clarify, this is for investment roles; portfolio operations lower and I’m not sure.

SVP this is not correct - carry typically starts at VP level and becomes an increasing share of TV from there. In no way do you need to be a partner before earning carry

Even lower middle market PE principals probably clear $400k

Any tips for transitioning from Finance advisory to PE?

$200k - $1M...

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management. I regularly interface with leadership internally and at the client. But, I am aligned to the “Operations” capability and make the least of my teammates who perform seemingly identical work but are aligned to “Strategy and Consulting.” I worry I’m on a career path to being paid the least wherever I go, because Operations is in my title and background.
