I’m an Analyst 3 (soon to be associate 1) at a middle market investment bank (compare to Nomura/BNP Paribas/Scotiabank) in nyc.
My total comp this year was 140k base but my bonus was only 60-70. So TC of 200-210k.
Have a feeling I’ve just been terribly underpaid, does anyone know what An3 bonuses are typically? Would welcome datapoints even if not from this cycle.

Your total comp of $200k-$210k seems slightly below the higher end of the market for An3 roles, especially in NYC. Bonuses for An3s at comparable firms often exceed $100k, particularly for top performers. It might be worth discussing your comp with your team or exploring other opportunities if you feel undervalued.

Seems like you’re underpaid. FWIW I got double that (excluding a2a bonus) last cycle in dcm/ecm at a BB as an analyst 3 and I wasn’t the top
