Special opportunities comp?

Any insight into what ASO and VP comp at special opportunities funds looks like (total and split of base/bonus)? Any carry? Think flexibility investing across cap structure with a bias towards structured equity and convertible debt. Based in NYC/SF/LA, relatively small team vs. AUM. Not a MF.

Private Equity Mock Coffee Chat

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
