Looking at gobuyside there are two associate interview reviews. One said comp of base/bonus $100k/$100k, the other says $125k/$125k. Hopefully you have access and can see the interview reviews.

I've talked with 1-2 guys from MSD before. Seemed to me like a very impressive group of ppl. No real personal experience though.
