From the BBs, Citi pays the highest followed by BAML, GS and JPM according to the 2019/2020 Arkesden Compensation Report. This comes to £80-90K total compensation. Out of the EBs, CVP pays ~£60K base + ~100% bonus. They're also famous for their huge signing bonus you have to pay back if you leave within 3 years. Not sure how much this is exactly, but have heard it's in the £20-30K range. All in that brings you to £130K per year for your Analyst years if you annualise the signing bonus.

 

Anyone know about Barc / CS? Comp report is outdated because cycle has changed

 

I think it's linked to the US pay. The deal flow in Europe seems to be worse than at other boutiques - they are ranked 54th on merger market for sell-side M&A YTD. Exits also seem to be very much mixed - a couple of ppl have gone to MBD and SSG at GS, one guy went to do GE at GA, that's pretty much it. The analyst stint is also 3 years and if you leave prior to that you need to payback your sign-on bonus.
