$500k for IBD first year analysts

Have heard a few boutiques (smaller with very strong deal flow) paid $500-750k for a first year analyst ($150 base and remainder YE bonus and then deal related), with $1+ million for associate promotion bonuses 

anyone heard similar? This is not a bulge or evercore but smaller “elite” boutiques
