Strategy / Corp Dev Analyst Comp - Southern California

Hi all,

Current 1st year analyst looking at some strategy / corp dev analyst positions in SoCal and have been asked what I'm targeting in comp. What would all-in compensation look like for an analyst position with <1 year experience look like? 

Appreciate any thoughts and any recommendations of what I should say I'm targeting. Thanks!
