Compensation Reports (Mid-Level)

Hi Everyone - Our firm is discussing raising compensation across the board in light of increased on-cycle recruiting compensation (i.e., they significantly increased our AO1 offer). I've collected a bunch of data points for the junior level over the past years, but very few (just one) report that covers VP and above compensation.

Does anyone have any PE compensation reports (from 2021+) that they'd be willing to share or trade (privately, happy to DM) that covers the mid-level? Would be super helpful as it feels like this is a rare opportunity to share some market intel with the partners. Thanks!
