Does anybody have information around what analyst / associate compensation was back in the early/mid 2000s? I’m curious to compare current 1st year Associate comp ($125-150K base + $75-$125K bonus) is today.
I’ve looked online quite a bit and haven’t been able to find any specific / detailed information.
