Corp Dev Salary for Mid-level Employee in HCOL Market

Going through salary negotiations so wanted to get your all's latest thoughts on Corp Dev comp. I've read most of the related topics over the past few years and I know it's a wide range - just want to make sure my head is in the right ballpark.

Level of Experience: 6 to 8 years Area: HCOL - Think SF/LA/NY Size: $1B+ Rev (not F100) Industry: Software Role: Corp Dev Senior Manager Background: All prior experience is in M&A, including prior experience in Corp Dev

What's the range of base + incentive comp I should aim for? Feel free to PM

Thanks all.
