VP Corporate Banking - All-in Compensation

Hey guys. Can we gather some datapoints on Vice President comp is in the US for Corporate Banking? I’m thinking to lateral to BB but want some real datapoints before I enter negotiations. Thank you in advance. 

Bank: State bank name or type (BBB or MM)

Year:

Have worked at regional and BB. At regional, VP comp all in was $200-$240 without much fluctuation for outperformance. As an associate at a BB last year, I had $280k in total comp. VPs make over $300k. If you’re doing CB, I’d highly recommend working at the 3-4 banks that widely overpay, but lifestyle is much closer to IB. Regional lifestyle can be 40 hours a week and making well more than most.

OP, to give you another data point I’m a VP at a non-BB and I cleared $340K. 40-50 hrs/week.

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
