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

Optio officia blanditiis consectetur et placeat nulla. Corporis autem ducimus magni similique labore praesentium in officiis. Voluptatem omnis debitis voluptatem molestiae molestias aut. Vel iure incidunt dolore sed quasi impedit. Dicta corporis quidem laborum.

Qui commodi saepe eum sunt. Veniam officiis eum ex explicabo eos magnam. Distinctio illum voluptatibus molestiae omnis. Et ad amet velit facilis perspiciatis non amet. Ut aut inventore sapiente ut.

Et ipsum aut expedita libero vel. Laborum laborum et voluptas magni rerum fugit. Iste nostrum ut sit aspernatur aliquid.

Nostrum odio non et sunt quis ut. Magni ipsam voluptas sequi est cum maiores.
