Difference between IB AN 1 and AS 1 pay (base + bonus)

Hey everyone I wanted to know what’s the average difference of pay between an IB analyst 1 & associate 1 (base+bonus) Asking this because I wanted to be sure whether to enrol for a 1 year MSF and start as an analyst or get into an MBA and start as an associate. I’m thinking to lateral to PE after a couple of years in IB and I believe the probability of getting into PE as an associate after being an IB analyst is better compared to getting into PE after being a post MBA IB associate for a couple of years. Let me know if I’m wrong.
