Based on the most helpful WSO content, operations roles, including those in COO teams at top hedge funds like Point72 and Citadel, typically offer competitive compensation but are generally lower than front-office roles. For example, average compensation for roles like Manager or Engineer/Quant at hedge funds is around $273k, while more junior roles like Analysts or Associates range from $178k to $251k. COO team roles may align closer to these figures depending on seniority and responsibilities.
In terms of work-life balance (WLB), hedge funds like Point72 and Citadel are known for demanding environments, but operations roles often have better WLB compared to front-office positions. For instance, Point72 employees report an average of 62.9 hours per week, which is relatively moderate compared to other firms in the industry.

Check on LinkedIn what people in those roles did before. If they were a project manager at a top management consulting firm making $300-400k, you can assume that they now make more than that.
I know people with $600k packages who went into similar roles and got a bump.
WLB probably varies a lot.
