Typical MM fund comp for T2 city

Looking into MM PE opps - what would typical base/bonus be for a pre-MBA Associate role in a secondary city (Philadelphia/Boston/DC) at funds in the $500mm-$1bn AUM range? Have heard $100k is typical base but don’t have much intel past that.

It's highly fund dependent. Expect comp to be somewhere between third-year analyst and first-year associate at BB. All-in comp will be $180k - $250k. This is somewhat in-line with Private_Equiteer's comment.
