Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into the compensation ranges for a High Yield (HY) analyst role with 5+ years of experience at a mid-tier long-only asset manager in a low cost of living location in the USA:
These figures are influenced by the firm's size, location, and specific negotiation terms. For a large long-only asset manager in the $500bn - $1tn range, these numbers are a reasonable benchmark.
Sources: LO Credit (HY/LL) Sr Analyst Comp Packages, Q&A: HF Analyst @ $5bn+ Fund - Breaking In and Transition to Risk-Taking Role, Non US/Europe IB/PE Overview, Q&A: HF Analyst @ $5bn+ Fund - Breaking In and Transition to Risk-Taking Role, Only --> Asset Management Comp + Income Progression
Anyone have any views? I am curious to learn about comp for HY analyst roles, as well as career progression in this type of firm.
