Comp expectations for this L/S fund

I'm an IBD analyst interviewing with a L/S equities fund with £100-200m AUM in London. They have an investment team of 4 people.

1 PM and 3 research/investment analysts.

They're hiring for another research/investment analyst. What comp could I expect for this position? Thanks

Given the size of AUM it could be anything really, but GBP 70k base plus 50%-100% bonus would seem reasonable for a L/S analyst with no investment experience. A lot will depend on how generous the CIO/PM is.
