1st year to 2nd year - Base Salary Increase Thread

Think the topic aptly summarizes what this thread is about. Base for 1st years is pretty much standardized at $85k across the street at this point, but let me structure this thread a bit to make it more useful.

BB IB: 1st year salary: 2nd year salary:

EB IB: 1st year salary: 2nd year salary:

MM IB: 1st year salary: 2nd year salary:

BB S&T: 1st year salary: 2nd year salary:

non-BB S&T: 1st year salary: 2nd year salary:

Depends on performance, but 15-25% increase in base pay per year. Of course, that pales in comparison to the ~120% full comp increase I'm going to get when I hit consultant...
