It's tough to make the jump from FoF to direct investing and most of the co-investing an FoF does is with funds where they're already an LP. The lifestyle, from people I know who work in the field, is a pretty good balance and it's probably a more stable life because your fund isn't going to have a bad go and have a tough fund raise (although I know the argument that FoF is declining in popularity and that institutional investors are looking to skip the FoF level and fees but I feel that's more in the hfund world).
