Secondaries Comp for Associates and Senior Associates

For those of you who work in PE secondaries or have received offers with secondaries firms, any insight on market comp for associates and senior associates would be greatly appreciated. Also, it would be great to know if you receive carry or were offered carry and how much. Larger secondaries firms are most relevant to me. Thanks.
