What salary should I expect?

I'm interviewing with a long-only fund with about $10 billion in AUM. I think I got a really good shot of getting an offer in the next week or two. Just curious about compensation.

3rd year research associate
Moving from SS ER to BS ER
CFA level III candidate
Pre-MBA
Major city, but not NY

Wonder what to expect for salary + bonus.

my guess would be $80-$100K salary with bonus 25%-50% of base based on performance?

Is there any reason to expect my salary to go down?

 

Thanks for the quick response.

Current salary is ~$80K. Expecting it to go up to ~$90K in the next month since we get raises/bonus after the New Year. My target comp would be $100K base and 50%+ bonus; that would a pretty nice raise for me.

You're the second person to give me a number with an all in comp in the ballpark of $200K. That makes me feel like I'm making the right move. My firm has been screwing every single person's bonus below the analyst rank for the last 5-years. Think $30K with 5-year experience... -.-

Fair point- and you're right it was vague.

Anyone else have some more data points?

$200K all in would be really nice raise. It also tells me I'm criminally underpaid.
