Director 1, BB / £185k
Whats bonus usually?
That's terrible. Assuming it's Barclays or some such.
Thanks for starting things off.
Have seen £170-200 base for D1
Bonuses vary… it’s impossible to give a sense given few datapoints and range.
Would say 70% to 200% would be sort of right. Can also be zero of course.
Yep, these numbers look about right.
Damn y’all ain’t getting paid in Europe
My UK Directors - £225k ps, bonus ranges 85%-175%
bump
Europe is paradise
ED1 - £200k
Range is 175 - 225 I see most when interviewing directors.
US BBs seem to pay the most on base but get beaten on total comp by the US EBs.
