I feel like this is the most answered question nowadays but to answer one more time:

Smaller funds: 200-250
Bigger funds: 250-350
Top funds: 300-400

The career progression question is more important. Google PM: tech career with solid WLB, some upside potential in form of startup exits. PE associate: decent comp, much worse WLB with much higher *average* long-term career potential.

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?
