A2A Timing & Comp Ramp?

Been hearing a lot of different A2A promote and comp structures and would love to get a general sense of what the base progression looks like. Have heard the following;

UBS - 2.5 yr promote / bump to 150, 3.5 yr bump to 175

BAML - 2 yr promote / bump to 150, 3 yr bump to 175 (?)

Have heard a lot of EBs stick with the 3 yr promote / bump to 150 and base is constant at 4 yr - so I presume it's made up in bonus?

Any color from you guys would be helpful!
