Pretty sure Big 4 advisory =/= Big 4 investment banking. For example, PWC advisory falls under consulting while they have a whole separate corporate finance arm that's under investment banking.

A quick search on glassdoo will show you they pay their IB analysts 85k base + 20-30k bonus while advisory associates (analyst level) aer at 70k base + 5k bonus

I believe they are different than their advisory arms, at least at KPMG. Sounds similar to PwC.

I think you need to clarify whether you are asking about the IB group at the Big 4 firms, or if you are talking about their consulting groups.
