HF Comp 2-3 Years out of College

I’ve been working at a NYC multi-manager HF for the last 2 years after graduating college, upper end of my comp range is around 400k (all in), about 2/3 of that is bonus. What’s the average comp range for HF analysts 2-3 years out of college?

People typically start out between 250-400 depending on the strategy. The more quant heavy the more money. So I would say 200-700 isn’t unreasonable in 2-3 years.
