Give this little monkey something to aspire to. Think big! Probably high six figure and good year like last, few million.

Again - there are what like maybe 100 truly elite single manager HFs (categorized as say $400-500mm of 2/20 money per investment analyst) seats out there? So best of luck reaching for stars through its not a farfetched story for someone with best banking, best PE experience to strive for. If anything, it's absurd that people in the PE forum have this grand illusion that you make it to PE principal and you suddenly have https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/data-average-private-equity-comp…</a">$14mm+ of illiquid net worth in your left pocket but if you work at tip-top HF you can't make more than six figures because "you're easily replaceable" or "they will pay you the absolute minimum that you won't leave".
