Based on the most helpful WSO content, the compensation progression for roles in investment banking can vary significantly depending on the firm and the specific role. However, I don't have specific figures for a PCA role at EVR/LAZ/PJT.

For a general idea, here's a rough breakdown of average compensation for various roles in investment banking as of September 2023:

  • Investment Banking Director/MD: $592k
  • Vice President: $392k
  • Associates: $260k
  • 3rd+ Year Analyst: $187k
  • 2nd Year Analyst: $169k
  • 1st Year Analyst: $168k

Please note that these figures are averages and actual compensation can vary. For more specific information, I would recommend reaching out to professionals in the industry or checking out more detailed threads on WSO.
