Nobody can answer this without knowing what position, asset class etc you're insuring about
Equity research.
I'm just wondering how base and bonus changes as you advance.

Curious as well.
Interested as well, especially in the figures regarding equity investments out of undergraduate.
I don't know about undergraduate, but I can tell you comp levels for first year out of MBA at the long only investment management firms in equity research. Base salary ranges from $125k to $150k, signing bonus ranges from $25k to $50k, and end of year bonus is typically 1x base salary ($125k to $150k). As an analyst, your base doesn't change a ton, but your bonus can grow significantly. I don't know what associate PM's or PM's make yet, but hope to tell you in the future. ;)
dumb question but is your signing on bonus taxable?
Yes
is this M7 MBA generally?
Bump
In which location?

Salaries seem low compared to IB and the UK sucks big time compared to the US.
That link is just bad info.
L-Star indicated that he/she is interested in buy-side equity research. The relevant figures are under research / investment analyst, which have highly comparable compensation (base+bonus) compared to investment banking at the analyst / associate level.
Not sure if this report is annual or every two years, but generally I've found their data to be at least directionally accurate:

If anything, for the decent sized shops, comp numbers for analysts/PM's look pretty low to me. Generally comp is going to be pretty similar to banking for same-tenured roles.
In IB you don´t get paid more for staying longer, what about Asset Management? Do they pay overtime?
I was actually laughing out loud in my cubicle! LMAO TROLL ASF!
You must know nothing about what a salary is...
