I am a third year at a BB and am being considered for an Associate position. We have not talked numbers yet, but from what I have heard the standard package for first year associates is 100k base and about 40k signing bonus. Can anyone let me know if this is accurate?
Thank you

Anyone get numbers?
Do you get the same signing bonus as a direct promote as a new associate straight out of b-school?
