There was a thread about this a few years ago but figured it might make sense to refresh what the “market” is for comp within high yield/loans. Seems like it has continued to inflate with other FO comp figures but perhaps the bifurcation has increased by quality of platform and mandate. Ideally bifurcated across junior/mid-level/senior, seems like the numbers listed in the last thread might be a tad low for tier 1 markets these days (implies 500-700 for seniors which feels low).
