salaries for VC vs IB

wondering about compensation for the two industries at each level..who gets more? benefits? perks? for the sake of comparison lets assume were talking about a BB bank vs top VC firm eg. KPCB, sequoia etc

IB analyst vs VC analyst IB associate vs senior VC analyst VP vs Principal MD vs Venture Partner

thanks!
