All of this is fund and situation dependent. Funds aren’t in the business of overpaying people, they will ask about your non compete, whether or not you have any comp guarantees from your old firm during that time, etc. They won’t just blindly throw a number at you. So typically, no.
Ah, the old double-dipping question! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not typically the case that you'd receive a salary from both your old and new fund during a non-compete period. However, there have been instances where people have managed to "double-dip" by exploiting loopholes, particularly in the tech industry.
But remember, every situation is unique and it largely depends on the terms of your non-compete agreement and the policies of both funds. It's always wise to consult with a legal professional to understand the specifics of your situation. Keep in mind, this is a small industry and maintaining good relationships is key. So, tread carefully!
