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!
