Typical UMM comp for 1st year Associates in London

I recently got a couple of offers to join a couple of MM/ UMM shops in London. Excited about the UMM especially until I heard the comp - 85 base and avg. 100% bonus. All in 170, which is good overall vs. my current role, but is (1) lower in terms of base vs. my current job (although bonus makes up for it) and (2) is just straight up lower than I expected (I genuinely thought it would be 95-100 base with the 100% on top...)

Am I completely out of touch here, or is this pay low vs. the market? Like I know this is still a lot of money for someone to be earning in their 20s, but I thought the pay would be higher...
