Analyst Comp Expectations - Event Driven

Received an offer from a $600 AUM event driven fund in NYC.

I’m currently at a fund 1/3th the size in a low cost metro so living comfortably. I have 6 years event driven experience, and did 2 years in IB.

Potential employer is a 5 man team including the founder and 2 very junior (fresh off IB) analysts.

What is market for my level, AUM and location?
