What is the bonuses looking like for mid bucket AN1/AN2? Any sign on bonuses (like CVP's 200k A2A)? Whats the pay for associates/VPs if you have info on this... I'd appreciate it. Really respecting FT Partners on treating their analysts after all of the terrible things I've heard about the WLB there. 

 

When is Evercore going to raise in London? The UK / USA delta is getting embarrassing, not just evr but across the street

Q, FT Partners, EVR, and CVP are the highest paying on the street. All very comparable, with Q and CVP leading the way with fat bonuses from what I heard from alumni (target school for Q). Can confirm that AN1 are making close to $300k at Q. If you think this is cap whatever don’t trust me; look at their deals and look at how lean their team is.

The ivory towers of CVP speaks for itself. A2A sign on puts it at the highest paying IB. But personally, still not worth staying in IB longterm for.

Don’t really know anyone at FT Partners, but from what they’ve done, it seems like they are willing to accept change and improve things which is great to hear and see. Their HR department is completely revamped now, and they obviously are killing it in FinTech. Could anyone attest to how WLB has changed here recently?

Evercore, well the name speaks for itself. Amazing team, strong deal flow, don’t need to explain myself.

As someone who plans to stay in IB for a couple years and exit out, preferably into VC or PE, these banks are at the top of my list. Would choose any one of these over any BB (maybe not FT Partners). But I’ve talked to people who turned down return offers from top BBs to work at Q for example.

 

Networked with some alumni here, they all hinted at how you simply wouldn't receive the A2A sign on bonus if you exit out (which all of them are planning on doing/have already received offers) because of how they have to accept their PE offers within a week or even days. Thus, in regards to the clawback policy, CVP, like the other comment made above, is behind Q, FT Partners, and Evercore in terms of pay at the analyst level. If you want to stay in IB long term, CVP pays the most on the street. 

 

Capital markets are housed within the IB division at Barclays so they would get the raise.S&T and research should also be getting the bump.
