What I’ve seen is salary around $200k with total comp of $300-800k. Some break a million in good years. Some firms pay basis points on new assets while others pay a discretionary bonus. Lifestyle is good. Hours aren’t bad but will involve a lot of travel. Most firms are broken up into two groups. One covers direct clients (pensions, endowments) and the other covers consultants.

This report is a few years old but gives you a good idea on the industry and comp.
