1st Analyst Comp BuySide

Hi Guys,

What does comp look like on the buyside for a 1st year analyst? It is a single manager fund with a 2 senior members and me, the sole analyst. Roughly 150MM AUM fund that is just starting. 5 Years post MBA, with a med school background and 4 years sell side experience.

Any guidance will be helpful. It is a dream job for me and I will take the offer regardless of comp but just want to know what average comp is for the first year on a hedge fund role. THanks.
