Have a LMM offer coming up and don't know what compensation range is "normal"/what I could realistically try to negotiate for a ~$1B tech buyout fund. Team is lean, 2 people at each level (partner/principal/sr asso/asso). I'll be a 1st-year asso. Curious what comp ranges people are seeing for LMM firms with this AUM leve. Low, mid, high $200k? appreciate further details on breakdown of comp, too.
