Doesn’t really go beyond 120k until you make PM.

120 - 480 all in is the range I’ve been in since I started.

 

Little less than 300% for me, been in my seat for a few years now

PM upside is essentially uncapped, but so is the downside (buck stops with you so if you lose 4-5% of allocated capital at a given point, you’re fired AND blamed)
