Associate Pay at MMs in NYC??

Hey all,

Heading to a top MM in NYC in their M&A group (ie. HL, Baird, PJS, etc.) and wondering how total compensation for an Associate 1 shakes out in terms of base + bonus? Have heard conflicting info so thought we'd get some responses flowing. 

Note - this is for a full year Associate 1, not stub. 

Thanks!
