I have been kind of interested in what is actually on average the highest salaries among first few years of being an analyst. Based on reading these forums, this is what I gather (this is assuming out of undergrad, if you ar elucky enough to get into some of these:
I didnt include trading or VC since they can have a large range.

Why does it matter? Entry level pay does not take pay progression into account.
You're right. I'm going to edit the question, I guess Im really wondering more of about 5-10 yrs out when I would start considering a family life
All of these have a large range depending on the size of your firm and geography....
HF will usually be less than BB IBD for your first 2 years. Not sure how it is for PE... But like Blackhat has said in the past, what you make in your first 2 years doesn't mean anything.
This is correct and same in AM (although the terms clearly aren't mutually exclusive, I feel most people on here consider AM to be mostly Long Only). You are more or less an apprentice for your first two years learning how to produce ideas that will eventually make you a lot more money, but you provide almost nothing tangible to the firm. At least an IBD monkey is creating much more in the way of deliverables. To echo shark-monkey and Blackhat, the money you are making there should be enough to get by but what you are really getting is invaluable knowledge, experience and skills that you can hopefully monetize in the future.
