Private Equity SA Compensation

Hello all,

What do y'all think is a reasonable $ amount to ask my MP for being an SA? 

Some background: I currently intern at a LMM PE firm. In a previous convo with my MP, he said he looks to pay FT analysts around 75-85k annually. I did the math and it seems if I want to shoot for the higher end I would ask for $21,250 for the summer (3 months). Reasonably though, I would be super happy with $20k. I've already worked at this firm for a bit and have received a lot of high praise from my MP about the work I've done so far. Also, there will be no other SAs, just me.

I'd appreciate any advice from anyone who's gone through a similar situation. Thanks!
