All-in Comp for 2nd Year Acquisitions Analyst?

I finished my first year at an elite investment sales shop in NYC in July (think CBRE, Eastdil, Cushman, JLL). 
 

I have several interviews scheduled for acquisitions and asset management roles at middle market REPE shops and operators. Does anyone know what to expect for all-in comp at analyst level or associate?  
 

I would join as a senior analyst with a path to associate by end of year one.

Don’t agree, I’m not at a MF (I’d say it’s UMM or MM? But I’m not at a BX, KKR, or Apollo.) and we pay our first years almost that much. I’d say $150k all-in is a good target with $180k to $200k being the ask. Any lower and you’re struggling to get by in the city.

Again the job market and economy are much worse than they were a few months ago so it’s hard to say. I wouldn’t die on this hill.
