While I agree with everyone that it’s inappropriate to ask an analyst about comp (particularly pre-internship), if you go through the internship and get a return offer, you should be able to reach out to your manager (whether that’s a principal, MD, or whomever) about expected analyst compensation. Some places are forthcoming and some places are not, but I wouldn’t expect your manager to view that as an inappropriate question when you’re considering accepting a return offer.
