I did agency lending for a year before IB. You guys are only a little underpaid for NYC. Agency lending is not a super high paying business (at least at the junior level), people at debt funds, REPE funds, certain REITs/operators will generally make more on average.

I tried negotiating after 6 months at my agency lending job ($45k base several years ago in LCOL city) and it went nowhere. Your company likely has tons of analysts so they can’t give you a $10k raise without giving everyone a $10k raise.

I would try to land in a higher paying role elsewhere if making more money is a priority

 

Appreciate the insight. I work in underwriting at a LIHTC syndicator. Next month will mark a year that I've been there. I like everything about it so far and the business has definitely been picking up, just looking to get paid more. I plan on negotiating and getting my salary up to $85k-$90k. Feel like it's not a huge ask in this market and considering how much more expensive it's gotten within just the year that I've lived here.
