Year End Bonus

Fellas,

Just got my year end bonus from an Upper Middle Market shop (think Searchlight, Veritas, AEA, TJC) and was pretty satisfied based on what this group of firms pay (supposedly). I got 210k as a 2nd year associate. Think this is good? Has anybody heard anything else about pay across the street? Only thing I heard was that one of the above UMM shops paid a range of 200-220k

To clarify, is 2nd year the first full year as an associate? So 1st year was a stub?
