70k base for a boutique is considered top of the line. It's usually 50-70k.
That bonus is awfully low at 10% that means 7k? bonus should range from 20-40k
its technically for a senior analyst role so idk if 70k is as good but i would be looking at it as more of a analyst role. and yea seems low but they were saying thats on a bad year. the bonus is the only thing im iffy on
Senior analyst making 70k and 10% bonus? That's awful brother, but if it's all you have then hopefully the experience makes up for it? Mind pming me the firm name?
On a bad year 10%...
Even at an uber no name boutique during the financial crisis 7k bonus is unacceptable
