What are my professional perspectives? Career and compensation ones?

Could you explain this a bit more? I didn't really understand what this meant.

Sure!
What I meant is - what are the next positions I can be promoted to? For example, a company may say your career path will look like: junior developer -> middle -> senior -> lead developer, or team lead -> project manager -> director of the department. It's going to be different across companies, and if you're interested in a career, it may be worth asking upfront.

Compensation is essentially the same: how often are they going to review your salary (once a year? once a quarter? only when promoted?), do they give bonuses, stock options, etc.

I hope it makes sense now :)

Ah gotcha. I think 'professional prospects' might be an alternative word for that?

I was confused with the current wording.

Yeah, maybe this one is better, thank you!
