Please advice on wage

Hello everyone!

I hope my post is finding you well.

Currently I'm working for a small hedge fund (~300m) in SF Bay Area . I'm trying to negotiate my wage.
What should be a typical wage and bonus for a 2nd year operations associate in such fund?

Thank you for your answers!

Kind regards,
