Entry level or Associate after some work experience

Hello, I have a background in Engineering and Economics, I wish to transition to banking after some time working in industry. I am 26, and I finished my master's degree four years ago. Should I apply for an analyst or associate role? What would be potential income in both cases, as I would like to avoid paycut? Thanks
