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
