Does pay differ by asset class?

For institutional alternative investment firms that invest in the 3 major asset classes of PE, Credit, and Real Estate, does pay differ by groups? I’m assuming this is dependent on the performance of the funds and the AUM, but would the base be the same for juniors in all three arms?
