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.

probably skewed, but honestly, i don't see why it's so unfeasible. that's 70k base, 10k signing, and ~60k bonus.
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.?
I'd keep in mind that there's little to no auditing to numbers entered into the company database so the person entering the data could either be an actual analyst or someone still in college. With that said ~$137k total comp is within the realm of possibility.
We actually do remove entries with obvious fakes and our admins are able to see what accounts add them (unlike normal members), so there is a good amount of auditing done.
That doesn't mean some bad data doesn't get through, but we definitely invest the time to minimize that as much as possible :-)
My entry was fake?
Someone should ask Bob Benson, he would know.
SB for whoever gets that reference.
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...

Laughed out loud at that moment the first time I saw it. Just so typical Bob and typical Pete.
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.
Dont throw shit if this is a dumb Q but can similar ranges be expected for Comm Bank at BBH?
