40% to 70% as a first year analyst seems low? i will imagine that is what a first year research associate at a top tier BB is getting. a first year analyst should be getting >100%?

 

no. if you got 100% you would be on almost £80k. you would have to be top bucket ibk to get that. and we are talking research here. 40-70% in london sounds right

 

Yeah, only Corp fin and IBD homies would be pulling 80. I'll hit 50-55 k gbp first year with WAY less hours.

I have no idea about FI research. Whole different bag.

 

to clarify: when talking about first year analyst, are we talking about a fresh graduate in a research associate position OR are we talking about a first year lead analyst?

i will think a first year lead analyst (ie: someone with 2-3 years research associate experience) pulling off 100% is low.

 

I believe we are all talking about program analysts. The title varies from firm to firm.

obviously a lead analyst at a BB is going to make more than $60k+40-70% bonus.
