My little brother is interviewing for Bain’s DL / PC analyst program and was wondering what comp can he expect? I’ve heard from buddies in this area that associates make $250k and analysts right out of undergrad make $125k all in. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.

FWIW, I heard $100k all in.
Thanks. Any other data points on this or comp in general at the Junior level in DL?

Bumping.
At Bain, i'm pretty sure he'll hit $125k all in at minimum.
Associates have wide range with firms pay very differently depending on city, but safe to say most reputable shops will pay junior associates around $200k-$250k all-in and senior associates around $250k-$300k all-in (Bain again would be on higher end). This can move upward depending on how reputable the shop is, and I personally know a senior assoc that has made $375k all-in.
Your little brother has one hell of an opp in front of him that i wish i had at that age. Good luck to him.
Thank you! SBed.
