Multi-manager hedge fund analyst total comp

What is the range in total comp for an equity analyst at a multi-manager hedge fund (Citadel, Millennium, BAM, P72 etc.). I realize it depends on AUM of the particular pod, performance in the year, and the analyst's seniority/contribution.. But in rough terms, and assuming the average base salary is $150-200k and the pod has a decent year performance wise, how much would a mid/senior analyst stand to make from bonus? (think someone with 2yrs IB + 5 years in HF/ER). Thanks a lot.
