MM PE offer compensation

Received an offer for an associate position at a MM firm ($5bn AUM, most recent fund $1bn) and wondering if the compensation is considered market rate. Tier-1 city, not NYC.
 

Offer is for $120 base + $100 target bonus. To me, seemed a little low, especially on base - which would be lower than my current base as a AN2. Any insight would be helpful.

I know a couple of MM PEs in Boston paying $120k base and up to 100% bonus

 

Low, expect 250+ TC. I am getting ~270k TC for a tier 1 city MM that has associates working relatively light hours. Fund size is within the MM range, so I think expectations should be higher. 230K+ is a solid haircut to standard MM pay, 

 

Just to give a sense for an outlier, have a friend at MM Aso 2/3 with low 400s cash comp and low 300s annualized DAW carry

I’d expect an Aso 1 at same shop would be low 300s cash and low 200s carry
