Are you going to be an associate or a covering analyst?
I will be a supporting analyst I guess, since I don't have any experience in ER.
100k for an associate
In Denver? I would guess base of $75-85k with a bonus of $20-30k
I do not think they will give you any credit for your 3 years of consulting work experience, unless it makes you more qualified in the industry your coverage is in.
I would think your salary would be in the 65 - 75 range. It's hard because some of your qualifications, like your Masters and your CFA, definitely make you more qualified than somebody coming straight from undergrad, but without any writing/modeling experience or industry-specific expertise in ER it's hard to place you as anything other than a 1st year research associate.
