Hi title is VP so would assume that's what it's for. With that in mind this seems pretty solidly in the mid-to-upper end of the range for LMM without knowing the fund size.

I think It'll become more common and start being a real function funds invest in. There's such a proliferation of both funds and advisory shops at the LMM/MM side of things it literally becomes a full-time job trying to manage all those relationships. Not to mention a "proprietary sourcing engine" is a differentiator you can market on to LPs in a world where competition for allocations is only getting higher and the barriers separating firm performance are dissolving. 

Even at the MF level, partners will shit themselves with joy if they can find their way into a 1-on-1 process with high quality target. It's the bidding wars on banked processes that in part has been driving down returns - can't forget that the most important variable & the ONLY one you have 100% control over in PE is the price you're paying (or are willing to walk away over) for an asset.
