For those who were lucky to have secured a 1st yr offer in IBD, did you guys "all" get 70K as a base? Is there anyone in this forum who's got 60K?
Thanks in advance for help!

the only banks i know that still pay 60/70/80 are converting to 70/80/90 this summer
60/70/80 means 1st yr/2nd yr/3rd year??
There was a thread on this a while ago. All BB's pay 70k base for first year. The elite boutiques and middle market firms may vary either way by 10k.
