From the BBs, Citi pays the highest followed by BAML, GS and JPM according to the 2019/2020 Arkesden Compensation Report. This comes to £80-90K total compensation. Out of the EBs, CVP pays ~£60K base + ~100% bonus. They're also famous for their huge signing bonus you have to pay back if you leave within 3 years. Not sure how much this is exactly, but have heard it's in the £20-30K range. All in that brings you to £130K per year for your Analyst years if you annualise the signing bonus.
Wow three years is a long time.. at my BB it’s 1 year but it’s also „just“ 6k
It is, but as you see the bonus is huge. Also, CVP has a culture and ethic focused around trying to make you a career banker rather than a slave bound to leave in 2 years for PE. It's not that common for people to leave before the 3-4 years mark anyway so it seem to be working well for them.
Guys as per the other thread PWP is the greatest firm out there so must be paying the highest
Pls close this thread, don’t insult PWP analysts.
Including signing bonus, top bucket: Centerview 130k PJT/EVR/PWP 115k
What is Moelis paying in London?
Anyone know about Barc / CS? Comp report is outdated because cycle has changed
You wouldn't believe the answer to this question...
It's Lloyd's Retail Banking!
No, but it's a US MM (think along the lines of WB/HL)...
Guessing WB if it's true that their LDN analysts are paid the same bonus as their US analysts
Several US banks benefit from the same (bonus paid in USD).
Jefferies pays a ton - they don't have to define set buckets - they pay you what they think you are worth to retain you. Also I think a shop gives analysts a cut of the PnL if the team makes target.
Really? For analysts it’s market standard but maybe they begin to pay above market at the associate level and above given the claw backs kick in
Robey Warshaw - can’t say at the junior level but mid rank ££££
heard CVP paid approx £140-150k to 2nd year analysts and £150-160k to 3rd year analysts plus a £50k associate promotion/sign-on bonus so £200-210k as a 3rd year analyst.. insane
That's fucking insane. Almost seems too good to be true haha
Why is CVP pay so high? Are the hours/deal flow/exits bad?
I think it's linked to the US pay. The deal flow in Europe seems to be worse than at other boutiques - they are ranked 54th on merger market for sell-side M&A YTD. Exits also seem to be very much mixed - a couple of ppl have gone to MBD and SSG at GS, one guy went to do GE at GA, that's pretty much it. The analyst stint is also 3 years and if you leave prior to that you need to payback your sign-on bonus.
