Hi all - I'm curious to see if anyone knows the approximate up to date salaries for the big 4 + macquarie in the Institutional banking space for Associate Directors and above?
Robert Walters data is suggesting that 2025 salaries are much lower to 2024 which I can somewhat believe, but hoping someone might have some anecdotes that they can share.
