Execution, data, tech costs , seat charges and team costs as PM in a MM platform

Curious to hear perspective on the above from PMs across different asset classes, strategies and trading horizons: basically what's the min amount of PnL needed to breakeven under the assumption you can't pass through any of the costs in subject and they are all draw of PnL instead? Particularly interested in hearing from Quant PMs that trade frequently and have higher infra costs to take care of.
