MF PC Associate TC?
Looking to switch asset classes and I'm curious what the current haircut is vs. buyout. From role descriptions it looks like base is similar to PE but I'm not sure where the market is on bonuses.

I’m guessing better lifestyle while still being an investor
I’ve seen, base comp stays pretty close, but bonuses in MF PC usually come in a bit lower than in PE, especially LBO-focused roles. It also depends a lot on firm and performance, but yeah—expect a bit of a haircut on total comp if you're moving over. Still, could be worth it if you're looking for better hours or a different type of work.
