IB Analyst Compensation by Bank Groups (MM, boutique, EB, BB)

So I hear a lot about how some banks have good comp or bad comp, but what are the actual numbers here for analysts in all years for both salary and bonus? Wondering based on the type of bank. From my understanding, this is what 1st year analysts are GENERALLY paid, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or off (some are definitely dart throws). Insight on how it scales until the associate level would be helpful as well. Thanks.

MM: salary 80k, bonus 40-60k

boutiques: salary 80k, bonus 40-60k

bulge: salary salary 80-90k, bonus 30-50k

elite boutiques: salary 80-90k, bonus 60-80k

Base salaries are usually

MM/BB: A1 85k, A2, 90k, A3 95k EB: 95k, 100k, 105k Boutique: variable but usually 75-85k base as A1

Not sure about bonuses cause they’re variable and will be lower this year, but EB is significantly higher than BB/MM
