Is this a fair offer for a 2nd year?

I just began my second year as an analyst in MF PE, so I'm one year out of college.

I got an offer from a L/S SM in NYC for $300k all-in. The fund has $3B AUM and 6 investment professionals. But my comp next year in my current role would be ~$260k anyway so not much of a raise.

Is this a fair HF offer for my level? Other threads I found relate to 2+2 candidates but not 1 year buyside.
