Infrastructure Project Finance/Private Lending

Can someone help me better understand the key differences in responsibilities at the analyst level for roles within infra PE and infra lending? Is it appropriate to think of direct lending as the same as commercial banking and a lower fee structure vs PE investing? Finally, is comp significantly lower for direct lending roles vs PE? Thank you
