Analyst comp post undergrad

hey guys,

I need to make an important decision pretty soon and this would help alot...tried searching for a similar post. Does anyone know what kind of salary and bonus you can expect as an analyst straight out of undergrad at a $750mm PE fund? Obviously there could be a big range but im interested in hearing what others may have gotten. The fund has about 4 MDs, 4 VPs and an associate, and does not have a sourcing model currently if that makes a different.

thanks in advance

Out of undergrad, I interviewed at a ~$500mm pe/mezz shop that paid ~$50K + 25K bonus (non-NYC). About the same amount of staff as the group you describe -- maybe 4-5 partners, 2 principals, 1 associate, 1-2 analysts. This was 2007-08.
