Compensation for Portfolio Operations Associate in MM/UMM firm?

Hi all, I know these roles are fairly uncommon, but curious if anyone has any insight on compensation. I've heard various things ranging from "we pay our portfolio operations people as much as our deal team" to "you'll never make as much money in portfolio operations".

Let me know what you think! Even speculation is useful...
