VP comp at MM fund? Is this street?

Hi everyone, I got a recent offer for a senior VP role at MM PE fund (~1.5B AUM) in NYC that was about 400k Salary + Bonus, and 2M in carry. Does that seem low? It’s average according to the Heidrick report, but far below what some others have posted here under the 2021 VP PE compensation thread.
