Front Office Quant pay at banks?

Hey guys I've seen a lot of compensation threads for IB and S&T folks but nothing really for quants at banks. I'm entering as an Associate 0/1 at a Big 5 Canadian bank for some strats team (team selection not finalized yet). I was just wondering what the typical annual/performance bonus is for front office quants, I'm guessing it's somewhere between 20-50% of the base? I'll start off with my TC:

Base: 145k

Signing Bonus: 45k

Annual Bonus: ???

Edit: This is in NYC
