How to LPs compare to PE firms when it comes to comp?

How do investment roles at large LPs such as insurance (e.g. Allianz), pension funds (e.g. OTPP) and sovereign wealth funds (e.g Temasek, GIC, Mubadala) compare with equivalent roles at PE funds such as Blackstone, KKR etc? This is in terms of the actual job, comp, experience required, and types of work involved? Thanks!
