GS Buy-side Discount?

I know theres a lot said about the GS IBD discount compared to EB pay, was wondering if anyone had any info on GS pay in their non IBD groups (PWM, AM, AIMS, etc) compared to these groups at other BBs or asset management firms?

AM & AIMS both have some really good groups, with analyst base that's on par w/ IB. PWM I'm not really sure, but likely significantly lower until you start climbing the ladder (then it gets complicated)

 

PWM base is on par to other divisions / firms ($85k base); bonus is discounted ($5k-$20k depending on year & firm performance). PWM base slingshots up when you enter NPWA program to $125k-$150k. Once a “self sustaining” PWA, the sky is the limit (average PWA does $4M revenue = $1.25M take home comp; this would still be a VP)... PWM MDs clear $3-5M easy (some north of $10M).
