New Independent Sponsor Offer
We’ve raised money. I’m being asked to come in as a VP. How much should I ask for in comp (cash + carry)?
For reference role would be in T1 City.

700k cash + 2mm DAW
here we go DCM big dog over here, buddy go check in to make sure analysts are following comments
Impossible to tell you if we don't know amount of cash raised, if there is an existing portfolio / if you one under LOI and team dynamics (number of ppl, seniority).
I would think about having a "low-to-decent" cash comp and outsized carry upside.
It’s a new independent sponsor. So this would be the first deal. Call it anywhere from 75 - 100M raised
Again, depends on the team. I'd say $350k cash and few percent of carry, assuming 2-3 senior guys.
