List the type of bank you’re at, group, title and expected bucket
MegaFund PE
Expecting $125-$150K based on what Principals tell me to expect (better than last year, still nothing great).
Man, I sure am glad I exited to PE and didn't BOMB my interviews like you kids
Is this stub? Seems low, also MF PE and guided to $200k floor.
he might be on 175k-200k base
Probably going to be pretty bad.
DAMN SON!!!!
Last yr I didnt even get $100k. Less than that again and I’m out!
Wfh what firm?
Upper MM currently ASO3.
ASO 1: 280
ASO 2: 250
ASO 3: 275+ or else I'm going to be pissed
Lol am I getting MS because my expectations are too high?
I think there's just not that many MM firms that paid that much above market the past two years. my recollection is that the usual suspects (Jefferies, Baird, HW, HL) didn't pay anywhere near that level last year, albeit I didn't really pay attention at all to MM comp so couldn't tell you for sure. Just not sure who that leaves left.
I think you're getting negative feedback because people think you're making it up.
I am at an EB with a strong RX arm, so overall company PnL is up year over year. Mainly driven by RX as M&A has been hammered LTM.
I am anticipating the following outcome:
Stub: 50k
ASO1: 150k
ASO2:180k
ASO3: 200k
All mid bucket.
How’s that compare to last year?
