Relative Comp at Megafunds across different strategies

Are all strategies compensated equally at megafunds (associate level specifically but any insight helps) ? For example at TPG Rise, TPG buyout, TPG growth, TPG RE do associates all make the same even tho some of these funds do better than others?
