Title says it all. This position would be for a 200 person company in growth stages. Think series D or Series E. I find that there is a lack of compensation information for Corporate Development Associates. I would like to be armed with sources when salary compensation is discussed.

“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
.
Prob ~$125 +10% bonus. For an associate role you may not get any equity but I'd certainly push hard for it.
That's pretty crazy. I thought $125k would be more of Bay Area rather than Los Angeles. I was expecting somewhere along the lines of $100k.
Why sell yourself short, especially for a higher-risk position at a startup? I'd start there and see what they come back with. As with anything it really depends - I've seen that amount and more, and I've seen offers well below market for similar roles.
Varies but I'd say for an Sr. Associate prob closer to $100-110k base. $125k is prob where manager level starts.
titles are more fluid in corpdev, so would look more to (i) job responsibilities / reporting structure and (ii) your background. could put you anywhere between like 80 and 140.
Any thought on what total comp to expect for an analyst position in strategy / corp dev in SoCal? I have ~7 months experience in IB so was expecting maybe $85k or more? Am I shooting too low you think?
Moving to work corp dev for a startup and my all in is 100K in Boston, Id imagine you should expect the same so probably 90K+bonus in SoCal
