Can we put a few pages on this, tx
Wtf is going on at Truist?
Leerink comp going crazy, EB…jk? Curious how they can pay so much. Would love insight here.
Moelis AN1 correction: low/bottom = $10-20k mid 55 upper mid 70 a2a promotes 80
edit: lmao @ a $10k giving me MS
Barc A1
Low 15-25k
Mid 30-40k
High 40-55k
Thanks for doing this
Rothschild $30k mid bucket
Anyone have Keybanc?
KBCM pays everyone at end of year. First year analysts receive a stub
Based on only analyst 1 and 2 bonuses, and only including the firms that have numbers for both, this is the state of affairs in 2023.
High Paying Banks - MOE, Citi, MTS, JPM, PWP, EVR, GS, Nomura
You can buy groceries at D'Agostino's in blissful ignorance, order $25 cocktails on nights out, and get the deluxe spicy chicken meal at Chic-fil-A.
Well Paying Banks - HW, Truist, Oppenheimer, WF, UBS, BofA, MS, RBC, HL, LAZ, PS
Might want to stick to Trader Joe's, pre-game with natty's in your buddy's 300 sqft apartment, and maybe grab just the regular chicken sandwich meal at Chic-fil-A.
Low Paying Banks - CS (rip), RJ, BMO, DB, Barclays
Best sustain yourself by eating ramen and raw prestige, sip 8oz hand sanitizer with water before nights out, and get 4-piece chicken nuggets at McDonald's.
Wells fargo should be added to high paying banks
Why?
Angry at myself for lateraling to a bank with better "prestige" but worse compensation.
Prestige doesn’t pick up the check at the end of dinner
Nah man analyst comp is only the first 2 years of your career, 5% at max, and not super predictable. It’s fun to compare but doesn’t matter much. Depending on your long term goals, weighing prestige (or any other factor) over comp can be a logical and respectable move.
Nomura A1: Mid - 53k | Upper Mid - 65k | Top - 85k
Nomura A2: Mid - 75k
Upper as in greentech?
LMAO
Learning Japanese rn
PWP departing at 45k for A2 I think is off, know a few departing that got top and mid at 90 and 80.
That’s kind of shocking. I feel like they wouldn’t pay that high for those that are leaving.
FYI they usually pay you close to your real performance - it’s “honoring” the contract and paying you for the work you did. You’ll see firms doing it less in downturns like now where the budget tight and know it’s not necessarily.
I was paid same as top bucket when I left after my second year.
Mizuho An1: All get 9-month stub of 55k with a full year of 60k
Wells Fargo An1: Mid 60k
Do you know what WF an1 Top is?
Top was 60, think the above guy is off a bit.
Funny how there was just a thread about PWP not paying well…
Citi A1
Bottom - 35k
Mid - 40-55k
Top - 70-75k
Anyone know what bonuses are like for big 5 banks in Canada?
how times have changed for Evercore - paying below market
Did we read the same post? EVR is paying the same or more than most other banks…
looking at top bucket only. A1 is below nomura LOL and A2 is below cowen, GS, moelis etc.
Any insight on Citizens?
Are these for the first six months or these for annualized using a run rate for the full year?
Neither. Think of these numbers as LTM bonuses. People started in the summer and these numbers reflect their first 12 months on the job.
thanks this makes a ton of sense
Stifel A1 bottom: 10k bonus / 10k severance and fired.
Stifel A1 Middle: 20k
So fucked
Jeez, had low expectations for Stifel but this is just utterly brutal
How is there Associate Comp?
Any A1 info for Lincoln?
Heard from my analysts it was 4 buckets - 10/20/40/55 I believe
.
Another analyst in the thread got boned with a 35k bonus lol. Safe to assume they were bottom bucket
Any Jefferies update?
Nothing yet. Think it’ll be this Friday.
Update: Looks like its starting to come out today / tomorrow.
Almost cried looking at this.
These numbers look good in recessionary times
Jefferies, An1, $65k, presumably top
What coverage group?
HC
An1 $45k Mid. Bottom buckets usualy got $30k but some got $0. Top bucket is $65k
PJT Numbers?
HL RX numbers?
Damn Lazard comp sucks. Thought they used to be known as a well paying EB?
they generally paid below the other EBs for a long time
Lazard used to pay top of street - back in the 1990s.
UBS numbers are wrong, correct numbers below
A1:
Bottom: $35k
Mid: $45k
Top: $55k
A2:
Bottom: $60k
Mid: $70-80k
Top: $90-100k
All numbers rounded to the nearest $5k, exact individual figures can vary across group even within the same bucket
Any word on browns gibbons
Barclays A2 $35k-$55k lmao
An 2 (base 125k)
MTS bonus: 70 \\ 75 \\ 100k (A2A)
An 1 (base 110k)
MTS bonus: 70 \\ 75 \\ 85k
Can someone please post the numbers for Guggenheim - I think they came out this week
Bump
Through the rumor mill, heard following ranges
a2 - 85 to 95
A3 - 110 to 135
Can anyone confirm?
WB?
