Highest Paying IB Groups
What groups in banking pay the highest in terms of senior bankers? I know that pay is variable due to performance, but will a rainmaker in a certain group make more than in another?

Bump - also interested in finding out, specifically for FIG.
+1
EBs lol
I think he means groups like (M&A, LevFin, RX, FIG, ECM)
EB RX
EB M&A guys usually bring in more fees and command higher pay
Assume top coverage bankers who own relationships make a ton more than their equivalent product partners who simply do execution without owning a lot of big relationships with clients..just my opinion could be wrong.
Sponsors seem to make serious money.
GS management committee
Would love to hear an opinion from someone who isn't an "intern" or "prospect"
centerview obviously. money flows like water.
This is a silly question. It varies immensely by bank, depending on deal flow and the strengths of a given team. There is no universal highest paying industry/product group across all banks.
Qatalyst and CVP
Top Pay: Q, CVP
Elite Pay: EVR, PJT, PWP, MOE, LAZ, GS
Rest are Street
