Thoughts on GIC compensation and carry structure

I am evaluating a position as Associate in PE in GIC. On the compensation side, the fixed is comparable to the BBs, however, can anyone share some light on bonuses and participation in upside (carry or similar structure)?

Private Equity LinkedIn Review

“Helpful session. We went through my LinkedIn profile line by line, and the feedback was honest and practical, not generic advice you could find online. A few things I thought were fine actually needed rewording, and once they pointed them out it made total sense. I also came away with some specific points to add that I hadn’t considered, especially around how I present my M&A and project finance experience. I’ve already started making changes and the profile feels a lot more polished. Thanks a lot!”

“I appreciated John sharing a list of headhunters after the session, which was useful. During the call, though, I had to ask very specific, in-depth questions to get any input, and the conversation felt one-directional. More proactive guidance and practical insights would make his sessions much more valuable for mentees.”
