Does S&T/ER grad scheme in London really pay £100k all-in?

Saw on another thread on ER grad schemes that bonus % is like 60%+ on £70k base at US Ibanks (JPM, MS, GS, Citi, BAML).

I was under the impression that markets bonus at least in first year grad scheme especially if at rotational programme like Citi that bonus was more like 20-30% - at least pre-covid base would be around £50k and maybe £10-15k bonus for equity research. So pre-covid - £60-65k all-in for first year ER graduate.

A jump to £100k all-in seems huge compared to pre-covid, especially this year versus 2021 when revenue has normalised and banks have not had a great year.

Also would assume S&T grad would pay quite a bit less than IBD grad given much shorter hours so £100k all-in seems too high given that's what IBD would pay, if not a bit less this year given bad economic outlook.

 

Depends on the bank and desk ofc, but def very possible. First years are on £65k now, and some commods desk for example had a very good year

 

sounds about right...think GS ER is like 105k all in or smth with 30/35k stub bonus but might've changed.

Think the podshops pay their grad equity researchers 100k base so all in there is about 150/200.

Most ER gigs and S&T are likely closer to 90k all in for a grad though.

Truth is no one really knows yet because since we've had the base rises no one has got their bonus yet...

I'm certainly not expecting £100k all in this year. Even if I got the same £ amount as pre-base increase (which I do not anticipate because state of the world), I'd still be shy of 100k, including sign on. And I am at one of the bracketed banks.
