Based on the most helpful WSO content, Corporate Banking compensation at JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Citi generally follows these trends:
Associate Level: Compensation is typically comparable to Investment Banking but with a ~20% haircut. If max IB comp is around $250,000, Corporate Banking comp might be closer to $200,000. This includes base salary and bonus.
VP Level: Compensation increases significantly. For example, at the VP level, you might expect a base of $120K with bonuses ranging from 50% to 70-150%, depending on performance and the bank.

Thinking about making a move to this field at the same level, and would love to know the hours too
BUMP
Analysts and Associates at my bank work around 70 hours per week.

Hada friend in corporate banking a few years back: (this data is total comp) An1 $130 An2 150 Assoc1 $210k Assoc2 $230k Assoc3 $245k VP1 $280-300k
What type of bank? An->As comp increase caught me off guard
BB with a 2 year analyst program
looks like JPM/Citi as first guess
Large bank, also AN2 should have been 150, edited above.
Theres typically a sizable jump from An->As, likely as a means to retain talent vs recruiting elsewhere. IB comp has a similar jump
Can confirm. Either JPM or BofA.
From what I’ve heard, CB AN1s at my bank (non-BB B/S bank) made $150k total comp last year which is insane since that’s almost in-line with our IB AN1s while working 40% less lol — heard they do 9-5s pretty regularly.
For CB AS1’s, heard they get paid around the same base as IB AS1’s and maybe $50-$75k bonus depending on the year. It seems that Associate+ roles are where the bonus delta b/w IB and CB becomes to be more apparent
