you sound oddly desperate - you've asked this on multiple posts, even posts that have answers. I.e. another post indicated $250k all-in for ADIA first year PE associate, which you proceeded to comment "total comp?". Extrapolate based on that (+40k/50k)? Senior associate is usually an internal promote so there's not many data points there (as opposed to first year associate), all would depend on the individual person and their ability to up their comp at promo.

ADIA is on the highest end for middle east SWFs, so you're likely looking at 25k-50k less for the Mubadala/QIA, etc. Not even sure they have a senior associate position.
