Reports were the new job paid 3 times as much (about $1,200,000 annually). Which is consistent with the idea of going from GS to a hedge fund. This article says he mentioned that to co-workers. Now, the financial affidavit quotes $300,000 but this may be just the base pay (before bonuses).

Possibly, but a million dollar bonus, when his base isn't even at a million? Isn't that a little out of ordinary?

not really. typically people at these firms make most of their money from bonuses rather than salaries.
Driss Ben-Brahim received a $100M bonus in 2007 from GS as a prop trader. I would guarantee his base salary is much smaller.
