Cantor M&A VP pay

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can share the US base and rough bonus range?

WSO database seems pretty outdated.

Thanks

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“My mentor got on at 4 AM to make the session work with my schedule, which says a lot about how much he cares about helping students. He walked through every single point I brought, never rushed me, and made sure I actually understood each one before moving on. He was patient and direct, and he gave me honest feedback when something needed work. I left the call with a clear plan and a lot more confidence than I had going in. I would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for real, practical guidance.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“I loved how he was specific to me. And what i needed to work on and he made and mimicked the same style as an interview ( like a real life - going into some behavioural questions ( wanting to hear some market updates ) then going straight into a technical interview . It was nice to also find a mentor from the same background who played tennis and also into a sector I’m interested in and explained how to handle -> why a particular group style sort of questions and giving more attributes I cool pull from given similar backgrounds ”

Hey there! Based on the most helpful WSO content, the base pay for a VP in M&A at Cantor isn't explicitly mentioned. However, there's some information on the pay structure at Qatalyst, where a mid-level VP last year got around $275k base, $600-650k bonus, and $275-325k profit sharing, all in cash.

Please note that compensation can vary greatly between firms and even within different departments of the same firm. It's always a good idea to do some additional research or reach out to people in the industry for the most accurate information. Hope this helps a bit!
