First year associate base salary - BB and BlackRock?

I wanted to know what the first year base should be for the different firms (and generally across different LOBs) for a first year associate with three years of work experience under their belt (Class of 2012)?

BlackRock says it is $90k with ~$25k in bonuses (from a marketing business management standpoint). Is this competitive?

I thought for sure it would be at least $95k to $100k.
