Corporate Development Comp Discussion

Would love to see who on the forum has moved on to a corporate development / strategy role and what their comp numbers are. Would also be helpful to provide context on role (associate, manager, analyst) and what type of company you went to (FAANG, sponsor portco, pubco). 

For reference, I interned in corp dev one summer at a sponsor portco and TC was ~$100k for analyst out of college. Not sure if comp for these roles have generally increased recently but I thought that was on the low end for sure.
