From BB to Infrastructure PE in Europe?

Any thoughts on moving to Infra PE in London / Zurich / Europe in general (WLB / Comp / Culture / etc.)?

Been on the market and spoke to some sponsor (pension funds as well as independent Infra PE) but seems like pay is significantly lower than at BBs for associates, in exchange of a relatively technical role that I understand can often be quite sweaty. Is there anything I am missing?
