What’s the best way to discuss comp expectations when the structure is mostly carry? I’ve got a potential offer from a growth equity fund where the base is light, but the long-term upside looks strong. How do you judge that without overestimating your time horizon? I don’t want to be paper-rich, cash-poor for years.
