IBD A2 / A3 / VP --> Corp Dev - Market Compensation

When an investment banking second year associate, third year associate or VP exits to corporate development, what kind of compensation is "market"?

Previous threads have mostly left the answer at "it varies". Harvardgrad08's thread is great on specifics, but there appears to be some disagreement regarding whether the compensation numbers provided in Harvardgrad08's thread reflect market (even for solid tech companies).

Interested in comments from those with direct knowledge. Hoping to create useful data points. Would welcome any input, and ask that we keep it in the below format for ease of consolidation into the original post once we get some responses. Thanks all

Example: A1/A2/A3; BB/EB/Etc.; Tech/O&G/Etc.; Manager/Director/Etc., $[*] (all in), Avg. hrs per week

Ipsam facilis ipsum sapiente explicabo non. Officia aliquam nihil reprehenderit. Eligendi et eius non quasi necessitatibus mollitia. Corporis harum rem nihil sed harum.

Velit qui voluptas error mollitia similique soluta et. Dolor ut illum voluptatem et. Dolor velit nemo qui ut aut velit. Quibusdam sapiente autem nostrum praesentium rerum repellendus. Soluta quod eos iste sequi.

Quod sit magni veniam quia pariatur. Magni laborum ratione libero ullam. Culpa voluptatibus incidunt rerum et possimus soluta. Distinctio at doloribus voluptatem adipisci.
