With all the pay raises among all the EBs/BBs, was wondering if anyone had any insight into how long it generally takes for lower MM / regional boutiques to catch up. For reference, my bank used to pay around street at $85k base, but only rose to $90k with no indication of further raises. I know it obviously differs bank to bank, but does anyone have any indication on how long it generally takes smaller banks to follow? Thanks

My opinion is that they’ll raise it if they notice theyre losing a lot of talent to the higher payers, if not then they have no reason to
