Highest Paying VCs

Hey guys,

I couldn't find relevant or recent information on this in search bar or Google. I understand VC's tend to pay less than large PE shops, but I was wondering which VCs usually pay the highest, as there's quite a few of them (i.e. in PE Apollo/Centerbridge are know to pay one of the highest).

Also, which tech banks position candidates the best to head into VC?
