Analyst pay increase: 95k base yr1
Hearing a lot of rumors that for incoming Analysts (class of 19) that base has been increased to 95k. Can others confirm this? What does this mean for current analysts, and how will it impact A2 and A3 base?
Would seem like A2 would jump from 90 -> 105 and A3 from 95 -> 112.5-115
Update (from comments):
Can 100% confirm EVR, Qatalyst, Rothschild, and PWP.
Mod Note (Andy): see below in the comments for the most recent updates (Jan 2019)
What banks are doing this? My EB is not.
I know first-hand Rothschild has, and know second-hand of at least 5 other boutiques.
So far, haven't heard anything on the BB side.
Thanks for the post. That's interesting... As far as I'm aware Evercore, PWP, are one of the few that pay 95k base. It'll be interesting to see how the industry follows for sure.
.
Hey, know this is an old thread now, but is Rothschild's bonus and total comp in line with BBs or EBs or lower?
not true
Can anyone else confirm? I know EVR pays 95k Base but thats about it
Can 100% confirm EVR, Qatalyst, Rothschild, and PWP.
Knew about EVR, Qatalyst and CVP but had no idea Roth and PWP also followed suit.. Guess that makes your 5 haha
Does PJT pay 95k as well?
Looks like MoCo and Laz are lagging
Heard Blackstone does 90 base
Can confirm. They offer 90k even for non-FO roles, such as their Tech team.
Any idea on bonuses for analysts?
On a different note: what is the standard signing bonus for FT these days? What do most BBs offer? $10k? $15k?
My BB paid out $10k
My BB also offers 10k signing bonus
When does goldman plan to follow suit lol
...
Probably for the Houston office. Doubtful elsewhere.
Yup ^ haha
If I haven't officially signed my return offer yet, should I try and negotiate for the rumored salary increase? Also at $85k base as of now.
If someone knows a journalist at the WSJ, make them take this shit public!
I wouldn't try to negotiate. if you're starting at 85, everybody else probably is as well at your firm.
Isn’t there months for others to follow suit? Most hires are already in place.
Yet pay in London still stuck in 50-53k range
wtf
My bulge bracket was 47k base for 1st year IBD analyst London
GS?
GBP not USD?
Curious to know which BBs are above 50k. I know some firms are more in the 47-50k.
Efinancialcareers had an article in 2018, which had base salary for all BBs at 50k.
Just google "efinancialcareers 2018 pay analysts".
Investment banking is No.1
The people who throw shits on me can do a quick search lol
Many people here love to live in their little delusions. FB signing bonus alone is ~95k
Why don't you provide your source? $200k consisting of what? Sign on bonus? RSUs that vest over many years? Or $200k simply the base straight out of undergrad (in which case I'd be very skeptical about).
Also keep in mind year-end bonus is much smaller for these types of jobs.
No. Insane is picking a job based on ~$10-15k/yr difference in post-tax dollars, instead of picking a job based on what you're interested in, good at, and what you think you want to do long term. Most people getting paid $200k at FAANGs/etc out of undergrad are software engineers, that's a completely different job and career track than finance. Vast majority of the people that go into one route, would not have the academic background, personality, or interest to go into the other. Wall Street is not losing significant talent to tech out of undergrad (i.e., not talking about exiting into corp dev) just because they don't bump salaries $10k.
Cost of living in SF/Bay area is vastly different compared to NYC. Articles streamlined over the past few months stated that 130k salary in SF is close to poverty lines.
Also, getting those jobs straight out of undergrad is tough too. It is not easy.
are you dumb? you realise the people doing software engineering at bigtechcos are completely different to people gunning for banking right?

Cousin is a product manager with his own team at a FAANG, with a top 10 MBA and engineering school for undergad and makes $250k cash (approximately) and $300-350k with stock in their early 30s so no, unless you are a rare talent you will not make that much in cash out of school. If you include RSUs then maybe 200k over multiple years

Out of curiosity does anyone know the signing bonuses for various EBs?
Heard CVP/EVR/PJT are top while MoCo/Laz are lagging at only 15 ish?
CVP is usually like $50k with a 3yr contract.
EVR is around $20-25k w/ 2yr
Do you know what Moco/Laz/HL etc pay?
deleted.
Question about stub associate comp. Previously, EBs were 150 base and BB were 125. Most of the BBs stepped up to 150 base for the 2019 incoming class. Does anyone know if any of the EBs have tried to stay ahead and bumped incoming 2019 base salaries?
What is the range of bonus for BB associate? 70-100% of base?
Deleted.
Any word on whether BBs are moving yet? Know that pay is going to $150k for associates now so interested to see what analysts will get.
Frankly won't expect pay to increase for 2019 A1, maybe by 2020 A1 unless..of course we hit a recession then even having a job will be fine.
Just my conjecture.
I'm so confused on the Associate salary range at BBs. Also, are As0 those who start in summer and get a stub? As1 beginning in winter and get a full-year bonus?
A0 is between the first couple of months on the desk post-MBA until the next year, so like September to December of their first year once they graduate.
Got an offer for a BB @ 85k, so not sure about the 95k bump, but maybe at EB's as OP and others have mentioned?
Most top middle market firms are raising salary across the board for Analysts, Associates and VPs, but they state that "total comp will remain the same." So, it's really more of a switch to more salary than bonus - I'll take the certainty.
Salaries will be constant within levels (i.e. base will not change with seniority but only with promotion to next level), and performance will be differentiated in total comp from bonuses alone. From what I've seen, new bases are as follows: - Analyst: $95k - Associate: $175k - VP: $200k - D / MD: less relevant given bonus is multiples of base
What MM firms are raising analysts base to 95k? Just curious as BBs haven’t even raised them
The likes of Piper/Jefferies/Baird/Blair are in process of changing or currently contemplating similar structures to the above
Interesting stats. I guess BB's are behind the curve from what you have outlined and what I saw from other Analysts in my class.
Seems like EB and MM are trying to retain talent with higher base salary's?
Competitiveness and cost of living in finance hub cities, I suppose.
Wasn’t A0 stub period and A1 raised to $150k for both not $175k.
Previously it was 125k stub to 150 A1
Not at my bank / other close competitors. Essentially, there is no differentiation between A0-A3 anymore - bases are constant within each level.
Can confirm Evercore NY is giving 95 base for summer analysts. Was shocked myself.
They've been on 95k base for atleast the past two years
Can confirm no A3 bump at my BB, will be 200k base
What is 1st/2nd year analyst base/ bonus going to be looking like for the Houston offices of the BBs and EBs?
Varies widely based on group.
DB pink slipped everybody in 2018 so that’s probably the worst.
UBS doesn’t do anything. Jefferies was on a tear in 2018 I think. Barclays was on a few notable deals. Evercore has traditionally had the highest or 2nd highest pay.
