Infra PE vs Corporate PE Compensation
At megafunds (KKR, GIP etc.), does Infra PE pay less than Corp PE once you hit VP+ due to differences in carry?
I'm assuming the pay is the same for associates.

Yes. Generally speaking, infra pay is much lower since returns are lower.
false, at least at the big funds. check sizes are way bigger relative to headcount. Also, you’re not gonna have Orlando Bravo chucking billions into bullshit b2b saas flips and actually getting strong returns anymore. that era is over
Can you give some examples of funds and their returns?
I’m seeing low teens returns for large funds. There are exceptions, but have rarely seen funds exceeding 20%.
can you give examples of Infra Funds and their returns that you saw?
It sounds like OP is referring to MFs with Corporate and Infra teams. Not sure how Thoma is relevant here.
