Buy Side Equity Research Associate Comp

Hi, looking for any input on what a buyside equity research associate comp looks like straight from undergrad at Fidelity/Blackrock/T Rowe/Wellington? Looking online there is a wide range of figures. Any input on promotion structure would also be great. Thanks!
