Fund size and geography?
$750 mil, TX.
This is crazy for TX, did ur firm just have a historic year?
Not anything out of the ordinary, but there's enough momentum for new fundraises. Sweatshop hours though, so would say the pay is fair.

Out of curiosity, what did they tell you the bonus would look like when you joined? Did the fund just have a bad year?
