Trader Pay at AM/LO?

Just wondering if someone can share some insight around Equity Trader comps at large AMs or LO funds. I’m thinking along lines of Cap Grp, Wellington, FMR/FIL, Amundi, RBC etc etc. HF trader comps take all the spotlight but seems not much out there for the AMs.

Thinking of making move from sellside, position seems a bit sleepy but more stable/actual wfh benefits. Looking at London and Asia if helps. I’m guessing base is likely slightly higher than I get now (associate at US BB), but progression likely not as good? What about bonuses?

thanks
