Director Pay At GCC SWFs?

Hi there,

I would like to know how much investment professionals at the VP and director level (10-15 years of experience in London/EMEA) can make at top GCC Sovereign Wealth Funds in the region (such as PIF, Qatar Investment Authority, Mubadala, etc.).
 

Additionally, I am curious about the mid-term career prospects within those funds.
 

thanks
