Fortune 500 Corporate Finance Exit Opporunity Pay

What would be the pay an analyst can expect to receive after completing a 2 year stint at a top BB (GS, MS, JPM) and moving into a corporate finance role in a Fortune 500 Company? Would any analysts who have made this switch like to comment? I know that the pay would probably be much lower than in banking and would also fluctuate depending on geographical location, but approximates would be just fine. Thanks!

depends on what type of role and at what level..

for example, moving into a corporate development / internal m&a role at an associate level in a fairly large, rapidly growing and/or acquisitive company, i would say $80K-$100K plus a bonus around $5-$10K, and some equity and a lot of great benefits/perks.

In comparison, as an associate working at a decent pe shop ~$150K-$250 base plus 80%-100% bonus.

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
