Depends on if you have legit prior development or even CRE experience (many dev associate roles require exp. or only really hire with exp... skews the "averages"). I'd guess in the "southeast"... probably min base for "big/institutional" type shop would be $100k (or close enough), bonus 20-35%. Probably need a promotion or two before you get any long-term comp items. 

Will note, in "LCOL" places (and yeah... many of those in the SE)... you may find legit firms offering bases down to $80k (this was true a few years ago from what I know, not sure if true today given overall wage gains!).
