MM HF Associate Comp

Currently recruiting with MM HFs, but I haven't been able to find much detail on comp at the Associate level. Understand that the PM and Analysts take most of the bonus pool, but what should an associate expect in terms of base / bonus (average or good year, assuming none for a bad year)
