Typical VC Analyst / Associate Pay

I just got extended an offer to join a well regarded early / expansion stage VC fund with ~$800AUM for an analyst role (same as associate role at other places - basically the title they give someone following 1-3 years of banking / consulting / corp dev / etc.). I was wondering what typical VCs pay at these positions.

I know its not the same money as at buyout shops, but can someone give me a range of typical pay packages at these places.

$80 - $100M with ~50% bonus plus opportunity to reinvest in the fund sound pretty standard?

Any guidance on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks.
