How does does first year analyst at a MF (BX, KKR) make?

I've been quoted a discretionary bonus but not sure what I can expect for total comp - from what I heard from the recruiter, she made it sound like it was around 100%. But people here say around 40-50% - does anyone have any insight on this?

Want to know for budgeting purposes - rent, etc.

From what I've heard pay at BX RE is the same across teams until you reach senior associate, but I'm not 100% sure

 

I thought there was no longer a Goldman discount - considering pay bumps?

 

They just say discretionary - they try not to give a percentage. Hard to put a number on it, don't know when would be the right time to ask colleagues?
