Looking for analyst/associate comps for VC pay - would be even better if you could split by structure, i.e. base + bonus + carry (if any)

That Balderton datapoint is incorrect (assuming we’re talking about Associate pay). ‘Market’ base for Associate 1 at Tier 1 funds in London is £100-120k, with Balderton at the higher end of this. It is correct about the small bonus and carry. Most others pay ~100% bonus and several pay carry at Associate level that is worth high six figures for target fund returns (3x).
