Want to get some opinions from other people

  1. MM
  2. Associate 3
  3. TC (225+150), 375k (2025)
    1. TC (200+110), 310k (2024)
    2. TC (175 + 100), 275k (2023)
    3. Did MBA, prior was working in consulting at Accenture/Deloitte/PWC
  4. Hours: (80-100)
  5. Slightly disappointed given overall WLB --- lean team/constant pitching --- is worse than what I have heard from my peers at other banks. Feels like TC is considered slightly below street but grouphead told me this was in line with the street, so created this poll to see thoughts from other bankers.

What is this compared to street (relative compensation)

Relatively wise, I think u r undercompensated. At my boutique, Assoc 1 clear around 300 TC with just 70 hours at T2 city

 

Boutique-style MM in T1.5 city (LA, Chic, SF) , average deal size around 500 million, lean deal team.
