Also have 4 years of experience and have been interviewing for a few different associate/senior associate roles. TC range at 4 different firms have come in the $225-$300k range. Pretty wide dispersion on base tho, $135-$175k. Smaller firms (+/- $1bn in fund size) are gonna come in at the lower end of the range but have gotten the sense that those firms have great WLB so could be worth the pay cut.
