Hey Prospect in IB - Cov, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I am sad to say, but this thread is lonely, so thought I'd post in here to try and help out. Some potential topics that might help:

More suggestions...

Hope that helps.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

Heard they pay approx. €55k base at Santander for Analyst 1

 

I think hours are slightly lower but the main difference to London and the likes are exit opps. Still you can lateral

 

I work in Spain in a BB and that appears low (looks like a stub bonus)

 

I work in Madrid . BBs EBs have standar Europe salaries (60k-70k base +bonus), regional banks (Santander, BBVA, CAIXA) 55k + BONUS. Regional boutiques like Alantra, Arcano, AZ capital 50k+ bonus. Small M&A boutiques 35k+ bonus.

I gotta say, all this salaries are very high for Madrid cost of living and except BB, WLB is "okay".

Minimum with bonus you are getting 50k+ bonus, Max 100k. 

Keep in mind, Spanish is a must and is very very elitist so target is almost a must in BB, EB...

if you have more questions pls dont hesitate

 

Sounds about right.

It is also worth mentioning that every foreigner coming to Spain for the first time can benefit from Beckham's law which is a law that assigns you a 24% flat tax rate on all of your Spanish income for like 5 years.

This makes your life in Spain quite luxurious (e.g. 1 bedroom apartment with condo pool is like 1k/month in one of the best regions in Madrid).

If your sole goal is to save money then you will most likely save much more in Spain than, let's say, London.

Other thing, IB in Madrid is a carrer. There are no exit opps like BX/APO.. unless you go to London because PE here is still developing.

The thing is as carreer is pretty good, high comp and at more senior levels like Principal or MD WLB are pretty good (except closing an such).

Other stuff to consider: Food is excelent, weather is excelent, women are great and Madrid is one of the greatest cities to live in the world.

Is not the same in prestige but who cares about that...
