Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about AEC Advisors or their compensation structure in the provided dataset. However, for context, the average total compensation for an Associate (AS2) in investment banking is reported at $260K as of September 2023. A figure like $400K for an AS2 would be significantly above the industry average and might be specific to niche roles, exceptional performance, or unique circumstances.

If you're considering the offer, it might be worth verifying the details with the headhunter or reaching out to current employees for clarity.

If you go on their website, it says analysts make 80-90k and associates 100-200k base, so I guess I am confused on how one makes 400K even as an associate prob through bonuses, but still.

 

I've briefly interacted with them and Tyler seems nice. Can't really speak to your question about comp but their CEO summit looks cool.
