Junior PM Comp?

Throwaway account here.

Any thoughts on comp for a fixed income junior PM role at a big long only shop in major metropolitan area?

Keeping details vague, but firm is in the 100-300 bn aum, with 5-10 bn in the strategy and a team of ~10-20. Would be supporting multiple PMs but clear this is not an assistant/associate PM role but rather someone they want to "groom."

Background is ~5 years experience in strategy as analyst (no sleeve but very involved in portfolio strategy and position sizing) and ~8 years investment experience, as well masters from target (good progress on CFA as well).

I can't say this with 100% certainty but it's my understanding that the Jr PM's in my group (Fixed Income, $40Bn AUM with 40 investment professionals, firm AUM > 1T) are at $150-180 + 100-150% in good years. Experience level historically has been 8 years minimum, so very similar to your experience. Senior Analysts being groomed for PM roles in our group are in the $140k-$160k range + 80-100%.
