Middle Market PE - Comp Difference btwn Pre- and Post- MBA associate

I am looking at funds between $400 million and $1 billion.

From what I understand I could expect numbers as follows: Pre-MBA
base: $80 - 100
bonus: $80 - 100

Post-MBA base: $90 - 110 bonus: $90 - 110

Can anyone confirm or amend as appropriate.
