Canadian pension fund bonus differences within groups?

If you want to just be a lifer at a pension fund, would being at the "better" groups equate to better pay? If it's not that big of a difference, couldn't you make the case for staying at a chiller group for your career and collect similar paychecks instead of going through sprints in the grindier groups? Not assuming you'd want to exit so any exit opp argument is unnecessary.

My understanding is that the other is identical across groups. So CPP’s renewables team is super busy these days, but get paid the same as their growth equity team or something. Individual performance gets factored in, so maybe that technically changes it. But yeah makes no material difference. People choose harder groups for the challenge / experience, maybe for other exit opps
