Compensations in France

What does the total comp for a starting QR (right after internship) look like in Paris ?

I am mainly asking about places like MS, Boa, JPM, and hedge funds like SquarePoint,QRT,CFM.

But any other input is appreciated also.

Thanks in advance.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what the compensation looks like for a starting Quantitative Researcher (QR) at Qube Research and Technologies (QRT) as of September 2023:

  • Intern/Summer Analyst: $85k

This figure is the closest available data point to a starting QR position right after an internship, as typically, individuals in these roles would progress to a full-time position. However, it's important to note that this data is aggregated and may not be specific to Paris. Compensation can vary significantly by location due to cost of living adjustments and local market conditions.

For more detailed information or specific figures for Paris, I would recommend checking out the latest compensation threads on Wall Street Oasis or reaching out to professionals in the industry. Networking can often provide more personalized and current data. Keep in mind that firms like Morgan Stanley (MS), Bank of America (BoA), JPMorgan (JPM), SquarePoint, and Capital Fund Management (CFM) may have different compensation structures, and these can also change from year to year.
