Maximum Total Compensation for 1st year Analyst

Hello mates,
Recently, while searching the WSO for interesting articles, I found an article in which one of our users said that his/her friend made 370K all-in out of college, and almost everyone said that it's impossible.
My question - what is the maximum total compensation for first year analyst straight out of college in IB (any department, any role) ? Your experience, rumors, anything.
