Know some guys who did their IB stints in LA and they told me their salaries were in line with their firms NY offices (moe, cs, and hl). Not sure about regional LA offices though
Bump also curious
I worked at an LA IB office and earned the same as my NY counterparts. Base is the same regardless of location, and we're evaluated for bonuses on a firm-wide basis, so the same bonus tiers apply for all regions.
