2023 Platform PM payouts/packages

Been at my platform for a while now and thinking about exploring what’s out there. There’s been huge growth over the last year and also massive war for talent. Curious who’s offering the best packages these days? Are all the major platforms offering 20% no deferred comp? Or is there opportunity to get something better at the major platforms?

I’m happy with seat and not actively searching so this is more second hand info from friends + colleagues / relayed from headhunters who are always trying to sell people on new seats but I think most terms are pretty similar. I think there are probably bigger differences on how different firms treat bonus / incentive guarantees to switch firms. Wish I could be more helpful, PM me if you want more color.
