How much do partners at venture capital firms make annually?
I feel they make much less than an average software engineer
Is it true? What would be absolute levels

Correct! Fund MDs and Founders with secondaries live in those 25 cr penthouses and villas in Indiranagar 😀

Completely depends on tier
Tier 2 vcs (Blume, kalaari, etc) will be 20% lower than MBB compensation. MBB compensation at partner level is comparable to directors at Google/uber. Except for the fund founder who’ll be much higher
Tier 1 VC (sequoia, accel, matrix, nexus) partners should make 1.5-2X MBB folks. Their compensations is similar to IB MDs/PE MDs (atleast 5-10 cr+ carry yearly). These folks will earn similar to Sensex 30 ceos
Tier 3 vcs (kae, indiaquotient) will make half of MBB

Think Blume is 2X bigger in fund size. But fair, might be similar tiers
Main point is an MD at tier 1 VC (not Founder GP) would have the same net worth as a CXO in a successful unicorn (20-100 cr). Founder GPs would be similar to founders at soonicorns (100-500 cr net worth).
Unicorn founders are completely out of bracket at 1000cr+ net worth
So - in short, no an average engineer does not make the same as a VC MD
