Salary for 2nd yr associate lateral

I’m coming in as a 2nd year associate in IB Infrastructure/Project finance. What is a reasonable base, sign on, and bonus range?

Edit - location: New York office of a U.S. regional bank; coming from consulting and have a masters at an Ivy; currently salary base is 170k. This new offer is 165k base + 2k signon + end of year bonus. Is this low?
