Intrepid Investment Bankers (Comp Structure)

Anyone have recent info on Intrepid Investment Bankers’ comp structure for Senior Associates / VPs?

Curious what total comp looks like these days — base + bonus range — and how it stacks up vs. other MMs like HW, Lincoln, Stifel, Baird, etc. Heard there's profit sharing at the associate level but how does that scale up?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s what you need to know about compensation structures in investment banking roles:

For Senior Associates and VPs, the total average compensation across the industry (as of September 2023) is as follows: - Vice Presidents (VPs): $392K total average comp. - Associates: $260K total average comp.

While specific details for Intrepid Investment Bankers aren't explicitly outlined in the dataset, these figures provide a benchmark for comparison against other middle-market (MM) firms like HW, Lincoln, Stifel, and Baird.

Regarding profit sharing, it’s not uncommon for MM firms to offer such incentives, especially at the associate level. However, how this scales up to VP levels can vary significantly by firm. Typically, profit-sharing structures become more impactful as you move up the ranks, aligning with increased responsibilities and contributions to deal flow.

For a more precise comparison or recent updates, exploring WSO threads or reaching out to professionals in the space might provide additional clarity.
