What is Associate comp in RE groups at megafunds?

I'm in the process at a couple well known MFs (think Blackstone, KKR, TPG, etc.). My experience is 3 years in REIB.

I have heard Associate base for PE at MF's is $125k + ~100% bonus. What can I expect in the RE group? Same/similar? Or lower? Anyone have any color they can share?

Thanks!

I see. So would other large shops pay pay closer to $200k all-in? I didn't realize Carlyle paid less than the others.

Trying to get a better sense of the RE PE Associate comp landscape

 

This was years ago but I had heard through a friend from college that Carlyle has a shitload of asset managers and not as many deal team people, and that they don't pay that great. I could see the deal team people getting paid more.
