I think if you have a path to being in significant carry at a MF, you're probably not leaving for Temasek.

For a lot of the MM funds, carry isn't a guaranteed life-changer. Once you get in the carry, it could be 5+ years until you start realizing and not every fund is a top quartile performer that generates enough to go around. Also, the PE business model is based on fundraising, which in the MM/LMM can suck up a lot of bandwidth for people who would rather be doing deals.
