Not for a very long time (yes I know some EBs pay higher already)
Starting in 2018 Morgan Stanley raised the base salary for associates from 125k to 150k. All BBs and most other banks followed.
I wouldn’t expect an increase for a while. Maybe 2025. Bonus would increase first.
That's actually a massive bump, considering then the firm has to bump up the base for all the AS2, AS3, and maybe even some VPs as well.
Or does base salary stay the same for the associate years?
