Well yeah on the dollars++ and the equity++ - often that's a harder sell, existing managers usually have to have some kind of thing to point at in order to make those things manifest - a lot of non-coders don't know how to quantify your contributions- these strategies are supposed to add up to raises, promotions, bonuses, etc., and make getting the tangibles you want easier. Plus, if the tangibles don't come with the thought leadership recognition, someone else will usually come along, and recognize you in the way you want to be recognized.
