MF Pay & other random questions

I know that there is practically no WLB at any of the megafunds in acquisitions roles, but does anybody know what they pay all in at the analyst/associate/VP levels these days? I've heard ~230 analyst and 300-350 for associate?

Anybody have an idea for what return offer rate is at apo/kkr/bx/starwood?
Do you typically have to get an MBA to be promoted to VP?
