$137,000 for a 1st year analyst?

The average comp for a 1st year at Brown Brothers Harriman is (according to the Company Database) $137,000. Can this be right? I didn't think they were performing well enough to offer that kind of pay.

True. 70k base is standard, I just didn't expect a solid bonus structure for a MM with less-than-spectacular deal flow. Can anyone comment on comp at the higher ranks, exit opps, etc.?

 

Don and Pete could pull more than that as 1st years at BBH, and Bob knows it.

 

I don't know, if I was interviewing and Pete came into my office I'd probably find a reason to finish early and never call him back. Don would get sent to Associate right away.

This is giving me an idea...if Mad Men characters were in finance...

Maybe for the M&A/Capital Partners group .. which comprises a very small group of BBH people. BBH is now mostly BO and wealth mgmt from what I understand

My 1st year as an analyst at Brown Brothers Harriman my base was 65k+10k signing bonus+ 35% bonus. I finished off the year at about $102k.. I don't believe any of my colleagues who were 1st year analyst made over $130k.. Brown Brothers Harriman is one of those IB that's a resume builder and if you muscle it out for 2 years it's relatively easy to get into a good PE or HF.
