Can anyone provide any guidance on expected salary in London in Corporate Banking? Background at Big 4 TS (2.5 years) + 2.5 years at a boutique corporate bank in asset finance (1 year in Associate function post promotion). Moving to London and am curious what I could expect in terms of Base + Bonus / progression in a similar role but at an international bank.
Thanks a lot.
