Ah, it looks like you're sharing some compensation details for a credit role and seeking further insights. Based on the most helpful WSO content, let's break down what you've provided:

  • Years of Experience (YOE): 3.5 years
  • Location Type: High Cost of Living (HCOL) area
  • Weekly Hours: Approximately 47 hours
  • Total Assets Under Management (AUM): Greater than $100 billion

  • Base Salary: $120,000
  • Bonus: $95,000
  • Total Compensation: $215,000

This compensation package seems competitive, especially considering the relatively balanced work hours and the significant AUM you're handling. In the context of the credit industry, a total compensation of $215,000 with 3.5 years of experience indicates a strong performance and recognition within your firm.
