Equity Research Salaries

I'm looking for any insight on equity research analyst salaries (right out of school). Bonus information and whether you are talking abuot BBs, research boutiques, or mid-market IBs would be helpful.

Thanks.

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“It was great working with Javier today. We worked on both the behavior and technical part of the interview. I am really glad that Javier digged deep into my WSO equity research experience because I have always been worried about elaborating it. He gave me good feedback on really understanding my model and knowing the specific variables I used. Through the technical questions, I was also able to identify some weaknesses in accounting and valuations. This is my second mock interview and I feel that I have been making good progress!”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“I really enjoyed this session because of how interactive and engaging the entire discussion was. We had a great live back-and-forth while working through my TMAY and 7 stories, which allowed me to think more critically about how I communicate my experiences and present myself to investment banking recruiters. I particularly appreciated how the mentor asked thoughtful follow-up questions, challenged some of my initial responses, and helped me dig deeper into the reasoning behind each story. Rather than simply providing general advice, he worked with me in real time to identify areas for improvement, refine the structure of my examples, and make sure each story communicated a clear and meaningful message. I also appreciated that he took the time to understand my background and experiences before offering his suggestions. The session was extremely valuable, and I left with a much clearer direction on how to develop my TMAY and behavioral stories. I would definitely recommend this mentor to other students looking to improve their interview preparation.”
