Institutional Sales in PE

I had a recruiter reach out to me today for a job in a BB IB’s PE group.

Does anyone have any experience or insight on this front?

What kind of compensation should I expect selling PE from a BB IB’s IM group to institutional investors?

Strange side note - the recruiter said I was a referral from my previous MD, but when I was at my old bank I never worked in sales and trading?
