$137,000 for a 1st year analyst?

The average comp for a 1st year at Brown Brothers Harriman is (according to the Company Database) $137,000. Can this be right? I didn't think they were performing well enough to offer that kind of pay.

 

True. 70k base is standard, I just didn't expect a solid bonus structure for a MM with less-than-spectacular deal flow. Can anyone comment on comp at the higher ranks, exit opps, etc.?

We actually do remove entries with obvious fakes and our admins are able to see what accounts add them (unlike normal members), so there is a good amount of auditing done.

That doesn't mean some bad data doesn't get through, but we definitely invest the time to minimize that as much as possible :-)

 

I don't know, if I was interviewing and Pete came into my office I'd probably find a reason to finish early and never call him back. Don would get sent to Associate right away.

This is giving me an idea...if Mad Men characters were in finance...

My 1st year as an analyst at Brown Brothers Harriman my base was 65k+10k signing bonus+ 35% bonus. I finished off the year at about $102k.. I don't believe any of my colleagues who were 1st year analyst made over $130k.. Brown Brothers Harriman is one of those IB that's a resume builder and if you muscle it out for 2 years it's relatively easy to get into a good PE or HF.
