Have an interview with a RE investor for an acquisitions analyst, what should my comp expectations be in Bay Area?

Finishing up my MBA and an associate at a REPE firm in the EU. I just recently got laid off as the fund is relatively new and they aren't able to generate business until later this fall by our projections. I am able to finish my time there up to the point of graduation which is good, but not I am looking to return home and have landed an interview for a Sr. Acquisitions Analyst for a investment firm in the SF area focusing on residential, retail, and mixed properties.

My previous comp: $80k, no bonus, but super flexible schedule due to my MBA

What can I expect from a firm in SF? My experience is less than they require for the position, so I'm sure I'll land on the lower end of the range if I can secure the position, but I also want to ensure that I can actually survive in SF lol.
