Can all Front Office roles expect pay increases in the near future?

Will firms increase base pay for front office positions other than IB(S&T, Research, Securitization, Public Finance, Asset Management etc...)? Considering the base pay was the same (85/90/95) for all front office positions before the recent increases for IB, I wonder if firms will match base pay across all FO roles?

nah. Don't think so for s&t at least - literally making money hand over fist all of last yr till now and we're not even hearing a peep about pay bumps. Ppl who did well were generally taken care of (and rightfully so) but that's about it

Hate to contribute to the (already extremely) biased hate towards s&t in this forum but that's the truth

 

Regarding your S&T experience, have you been extremely busy over last year?

If so, did your personal bonus reflect increased business/workload?

Do you see yourself in S&T long term? And if no, why not?

I was just a lowly An0 last yr so could not really speak to workload/hours (not great anyways cuz ur junior) and bonuses (stub) - although based on observations ppl on my desk (and wider product group) were woefully understaffed but come bonus time either got promoted early or bagged a pretty nifty bonus

Do i see myself long term - for now definitely yes bc i enjoy the work+learning, desk culture is awesome and I'm at a pretty profitable and growing franchise

Not US based btw.

 

Do you think there will be a mass exodus of people leaving if bonuses decrease significantly in the years to come + no pay bump?

Also, cant banks afford to do a slight pay bump anyways given profits this year as well as the constantly decreasing head count which is also shown in lower acceptance rate of SA programs/smaller SA classes as well?
