Salary

I was going through my school's graduate survey of 2008 (undergrad business school) and some kids are scoring >$100,000 base salary. I'd imagine they're working at places like Silver Lake or other PE shops?? What other companies offer that much money for graduates and how do you get a job like that?

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Third Annual Investment Banking Compensation Survey (http://www.wallstreetcomps.com)

This survey is to keep you and your peers informed about the compensation trends in the industry. The resulting compensation report will be free and will break down compensation by title, location, groups and banks.

The survey is only focused on professionals (from Associates to MDs) working in investment banking.

I am curious to know what PE analyst salaries are. Specifically, if you have completed a 2/3 year BB IBD analyst program, what kinds of offers might I see as aspiring PE/HF analyst?

As the subject reads, what can an associate expect to be paid right now?

I recently was offered a FT position for a firm. The base is relatively low, and I want to try negotiating for a higher base salary (about 10% more).

Are there any suggestions on how to go about doing this the right and effective way?

Thanks.

Can anyone shed light on starting salary, sign on bonus, associate and VP level comp for Morgan Stanley particularly? IR looks attractive for my skill set but I have other options like securities, IMD, etc.

Thanks!

Great! So I just got an offer at a top consultancy.

So how do you approach negotiating the offer? I've heard that the annual salary is non-negotiable, but the signing bonus is. Also, does this bonus include relocation? Is there a maximum amount? or a good range to negotiate in between?

So, how should I approach the negotiation? or should I flat out not even think about it?

Additionally, what should I think about/ask when reviewing the offer? For current consultants, is there something you recommend I ask or request?

some details:
base = 65,000
bonus = 10,000
I will be working in the same city that my university is in.

Thanks to all!
