PIMCO Portfolio Compliance Associate Position

I got an interview for the Portfolio Compliance Associate position (job description below). Is that considered the same as a portfolio management / associate position? I would not want to be relegated to the compliance department... The position requires a "90% or better on the Compliance Assessment and MS Excel test".
If anyone knows about the approx pay, please share as well. I have about 4 years of experience in management consulting, undergrad from Columbia, a Master's (not an MBA) from Univ of Cambridge, , so it was a pleasant surprise that PIMCO was actually interested in me...

Thanks!
