Is my all in comp low?

I am a 1st year analyst at an independent research shop working for one of the top revenue generating teams. Though we have an office in NYC, our headquarters is located elsewhere in the Midwest (not CHI)

My base pay is $40K w/ a bonus of what is supposed to be $10-15K 2x per year. My first bonus came in at the lower end of this range.

My question is - how does the compare to other shops? Is this essentially indentured servitude and should I jump ship soon as I pass level 1 CFA?

 

Haha - I like it there. Just trying to see if my comp is reasonable. I've seen base of 50-70 +bonus thrown out, so I wasn't sure if I was on the absolute bottom of the barrel here.
