1st Year Salary Expectations?

Looking to ballpark an expected salary as I'm looking to move to a SM HF down the road. Targeting traditional value shops, tiger cubs, hopefully $5bil+ AUM. How might comp breakdown work (base vs bonus, how bonus discretion works, etc). Traditional background two years banking and will do two more at a MF. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

 

There are no caps on analyst bonuses. I've seen $2-3M bonuses. Over a long period of time, I'd say the average analyst at the average fund is taking home $450-$750K/yr (some years that are much much better, some that are worse) - to be clear this is at the AVERAGE fund before anyone has a melt down
