MF Comp Progression

Maybe I just can't use the search function correctly, but I've been unable to find a forum with an updated snapshot of comp across MF analysts, associates, and VPs.

Does anyone have information on what comp looks across MFs with analyst programs (KKR, BX, Warburg, etc) at these levels? How does this compare to top bucket EB performers of the same class?

Curious if PE funds are still being cheap because they know they can be. EBs have been paying out great comp for a while.
