Why are people afraid to post their numbers? Are they really that paranoid that HR is going to be casually browsing WSO and somehow take offense that a random anonymous person made a completely factual statement they're completely within their right to disclose? Embarrassing how badly some of you are whipped.
lol stfu you are a pathetic first year analyst. You were probably bottom bucket too.
Lol. I'm only taking the time to respond to this post so that it may hopefully help others on this site who are seeking exposure to "real" IB analysts. To be honest, provocations like this don't mean anything. I've been working 90-100 for the past 4 weeks on a live deal with an extremely difficult MD - why would I care about someone behind a keyboard? (Anyone in the industry knows just working on a "live deal" doesn't mean you're getting crushed, but leaving out further detail for confidentiality purposes)
This is likely the behavior that keeps some full-time analysts off of WSO. It actually feels great to talk to kids who are still excited to learn about the industry and ask intelligent questions that deepen our own understanding of the industry and widen our perspective; however, fielding BS comments like yours is just...value-less? It doesn't move the barometer, just wastes more of my time writing the response.
To those of you willing to respect analysts and understand that some of us really do still work a ton of hours (Saturday rule doesn't mean shit if you're on a live deal), straining ties with friends and family in order to work towards some better (PE) future, keep reaching out and demonstrating your intellectual curiosity. Although some analysts may be too jammed to grab coffee with you, there will still be many who feel refreshed by your resolve and positive outlook, and would be more than willing to chat with you.
For those of you who would post comments like the above - you're probably so spoiled that mommy or daddy already got you a job on the street, right? And if that's not the case for you, well then you'd better change your fucking attitude because being a snide little shit is only going to make any analyst you work with during the summer hate you. Trust me - most summer analysts across the street have been reviewed by now. Attitude matters.
Probably going to be my last post here. I hope someone found this helpful.
Alright, I'm done being a lurker. I'll post this in good faith hoping that others will participate and make this thread useful again.
Confirmed GS 2nd year top bucket $85K-$90K, with 1st year ~$10k below that.
Curious to see if that is in line with other BB and the rest of the street.
JPM (top bucket): 1st yr 80k (155k all in) 2nd yr 90k (175k all in)
Qatalyst (not top bucket): 1st yr 80k (175k all in) 2nd yr 100k (205k all in)
Rothschild (top bucket): not a spectacular year for Roths, friends over there are talking about jumping since pretty much all T1 BB's are looking for laterals... 1st yr 75k (145k all in) 2nd yr 85k (165k all in)
