What's the best source for reputable Development Associate comp. data?

So, as the title mentions, I'm currently trying to assess what is considered the market compensation for a Development Associate (~3 years exp.) in 2021 based in the Mid-Atlantic/SE markets. I know there's a Google Sheet floating around on here, but I can't necessarily bring this to an employer and say, "here's what a bunch of anons on a RE forum say they're making". I know that Sheet is a good tool to check the market, but I'm looking for something more in line with what CEL puts together. The only constraint with their data is they don't have a Development Associate position listed: only Manager, Sr. Manager, VP, and above. NAIOP produces similar data, but it's behind a paywall. Any insight on this from the more senior folks who have hired an associate in the last year would be greatly appreciated.
