A2A - Comp Timing

All, wrapping up my first year at BB in a product group and beginning to think more and more about the potential opportunity to go A2A next summer.

I want to make sure I understand the timing of the $. The below is my understanding:

Summer end 2nd Analyst Year:
2nd year bonus ($85k)
Promotion Bonus ($40-50k)
Base goes to $150k upon promotion

January the following year, I believe you also receive a “stub” bonus for your first half year as an associate (so would guess $75k).

Is this accurate? If not could someone please provide more accurate detail. Would also love to hear others experience with the A2A process.

 

Depending on your bank, there may be an Analyst 3 year or an "Associate 0" that's basically a rebranded Analyst 3. In that case, base will be $105K to $125K with a ~$100Kish bonus in a normal environment.

After that year is done, you'll become a normal associate with $150K base, a signing bonus of some sort, etc

 

This is an assumption. Work in DCM at one of the leading firms in the space. Dcm fees are up remarkably YoY.

Again - I’m wrapping up my first year and will get my first bonus this summer (expecting 65-75) and as such would expect 85 or roughly so in year 2.
