Salaries

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 was hoping to go into the Investment Banking, PE, HF, etc. Many of my ex-Senior friends from last year and 2- years ago were swallowed up by various eager banks upon graduation. Their employers were mostly Citigroup, Bear Stears, Lehman, Wachovia, Suntrust, JP Morgan, Goldman, ML, MS, etc - with a few more other regional employers such as Coca-Cola, record companies, etc. Those who went to Wall Street, and even those who went to Suntrust, Wachovia, etc. all got sweet jobs - mostly as analysts. Some of 2nd years claimed to be well north of $150K - with no end in sight. Needless to say, many of them got laid off.

Curious to know. Any info you guys have is appreciated....thanks!
