Compensation post analyst/associate stint

First year in SS ER and I wanted to get some data points on compensation for HFs after 2 YOE, I.e. finished up a stint in IB or ER after college and first year comp joining a HF.

I know that comp data points after this are largely irrelevant since they have to do with a ridiculous number of factors that aren't standardized like PE and IB comp, but I feel like there should be some relative standard for someone just finishing an analyst program. Also if you could provide Fund Size/AUM/Strategy/previous role that would be helpful too.
