Carry for non-PMs

There has been some discussion on the topic in the past, but it would be great to refresh. Obviously this depends on fund size, amount of employees, seniority etc. So any/all data points are welcome.

It would be great to hear what type of carry people are getting at their current shops. How that has changed over time (whether based on individual / overall performance or experience). 

Specifying fund size, experience level, and any other relevant information would always be helpful. 

 

I swear carry isn't a thing in a hedge fund? You just get comp'd a bonus (largely driven from PnL performance) every year. The only "other" form of comp I've heard of is management company distributions as a partner. But that's it.
