IB vs AM/IM comp

I'm a rising sophomore at a non-target and I'm overall more interested in AM/IM, but I haven't completely ruled out IB. Compensation is obviously a large part in deciding which industry to try and break into and if the average analyst in IB is significantly higher than at an AM firm then that would definitely sway my decision. Any insight on the average analyst comp between the two industries? Thanks
