Base Salary Expectations

Received a verbal notification I would be getting an offer.
NYC, 500mm SM - Multi-strat fund, my background is 1 year of IB M&A.
What should I expect/negotiate for base?
My base currently is 125k should I ask for that?
Thanks

 

That's interesting, never bothered to bring it up to my PM. Realistically what can I expect? Don't want to look cheap / waste his time if the difference isn't big enough.

dont want to waste his time? how beta has this industry gotten? if you are underpaid, that is more money in your pocket and more money for your family and you are afraid to ask for it? that's insane. If it's 25k or 100k why would you just sweep that under the rug? what a stupid mindset to have
