10k Salary Increases for all Levels?

I was hoping to consolidate into one thread all of the "10k salary bump" posts. Of course you get a 10k raise from 1st year to 2nd year, etc., but I'm talking about the salary bump that results in 2009-2010:

70k base for 1st years
80k base for 2nd years
90k base for 3rd years

Many people are "confirming" that they have "heard" this at different banks, but what i'm really looking for are people who can say, "yes, I spoke to my friend who is now a 2nd year at Goldman and he will be making 80k base this year"

Basically, at my bank, if we can prove that enough other banks are doing this, then we can get the same bump -- which would be awesome.

So, posters like "killscallion" and others, if you can truly confirm these increases, please state your source as above. I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, everyone.

 
Classic:
For the first years, are you including the signing bonus as part of the $70K base?

good question, as that assumption fundamentally negates the proposed "increase" in base salaries....

I'm assuming he is referring to base salary ex signing bonus?

 

I received the information from others in my class: the now-second-year analysts who will be receiving an 80K base salary. No idea how it works for incoming first years, but I'm assuming salary will be raised for them as well. Signing bonuses are not included.

 
dipset1011:
Im interested in hearing if boutiques are raising their salaries as well.

Boutiques like Evercore, Greenhill and Sagent Advisors already pay 70/80/90. Admittedly I don't know the salary levels of a lot of other ones, considering there are quite a lot of boutique banks. I'm under the impression, however, that most of the notable ones pay 70/80/90. This can be a major selling point as well when you are pitching for a salary increase.

 
jackofalltrades:
final bump - so far my list is the following...

**Confirmed directly by me: Barclays Capital Citigroup Houlihan Lokey JPMorgan UBS

**Confirmed by WSO: Credit Suisse Evercore Goldman Sachs Greenhill Morgan Stanley Sagent Advisors

Any other last-minute additions before I present my case?

Are you confirming this with SOLELY 2nd year analysts? Because, I have no idea how you would find out that incoming 1st years are getting OFFICIAL confirmation of a 10k bump in base salary...

 

When my friend worked there, analyst1s were getting 70k and slightly below market bonus. I'm also interested in Alvarez and Marsal, anyone know anything about comp there?

Marcus_Halberstram:
How is Miller Buckfire comp? Haven't heard much about them. Anyone know if they are competitive with BBs and top boutiques with respect to bonuses?
 
yuntsucks:

Not sure about comp, but I do know they are kicking ass and taking names and will probably have a record year.

That being said, I've heard historically the turnaround/consulting shops (Alix, Alvarez, Huron) don't compensate as well as the restructuring shops (Evercore, Rothschild, Lazard).

 
yuntsucks:
I understand comp is prob not equal, but they claim the life balance is a little better. However, I can't imagine doing the Lehman liquidation wasn't 20 hour days at the beginning.

I know a few people at Alix, I dont know how much they make, but I do know their hours aren't all that much better. I think its more like BigLaw hours.
