The position is heavily involved in the investments side of the business. Definitely a front-office role. Hours sound like 14 hrs a day during the week and one day on the weekend. So I'm guessing a 70-80 work week. Any info would be appreciated.

 

I think that the real range stretches more between 10k-20k, particularly given the hours and the fact that AUM is expected to increase significantly in the coming year...The average BB AM analyst gets about 20k bonus, so for more hours in the same FO division, you get paid 1/2 the bonus? Doesn't make any sense.

You guys are all morons. No, I do not work in private banking, but it is not a bull shit job, and is equally selective to IB in a different way. You are dealing with UHNW people, and they will not tolerate the social retard types that seem to be so prevalent in IB. Basically just think about the types of people that you hated in college because they wouldn't let you into their frat parties, and these are the PBers. So no, they may not have as high of a SAT or GPA as you, but it is not an easy job to get. That being said, I have no idea what bonus ranges are. Revenue structure for a PB is very different than IB or even AM (as some idiots stated above), and thus comp structure is different as well.

rofl you STATE SCHOOL KIDS and your private banking. private banking is NOT prestigious and NOT selective and sure as heck doesnt pay anything worthwhile. i would rather do back office than private banking rofl.

I'm fairly certain of a few things:

yuntsucks went to Wharton. Wharton > Stern. He's spot on about the people on the Private Bank side- very good people skills, which clearly sternmasta does not have.

I also am not in private banking (undergrad, just accepted FT at a BB in IB). Although Private Banking might not involve the same technical skills as investment banking, it certainly is still a challenging yet rewarding job. There are a lot of smart people who work on the private bank side, many of whom actually started out in IB. It is definitely more selective than the back office and pays better as well.

I know people are seeing 70+10 + bonus between 15-30 on the private bank side. That's damn good all in comp for someone who works 60-70 hours a week with free weekends.

 

I love how only on these forums will we throw around insults at first year analysts who make a measly 20K bonus on top of their 70+10 signon when every other first year grad makes 50K and is excited about it. :D

I was speaking with my roommate the other day about how we felt bad for a friend because a boutique offered him "only" 55k for full time
