Cap1 base is similar but total comp is going to be lower.

Cap1 base is 113/106/100 in NY/VA/TX

Signing is ~10k grossed up

Target bonus is ~5k

So somewhere between 115 and 125 depending on location, which is still a little behind MBB (~130-140).

The gap widens after BA though, where cap1 pays ~125-140 or so for a senior BA, while post-promotion at MBB should be 200+

 

I see thanks. How does MBB reach 130-140? I know base is 112k but I thought average bonus (not maximum) was only 5k or so bringing to 117-120k ish (not including signing bonus since it's one time).
