70000 analyst all in comp? No way
Sure, maybe not 70,000 (only at low tier shop) but 85-90 at some tier 3 city 100% reasonable.
Can confirm post MBA associates range 200k-400k all in first year out. Most around the 250-300k range.
Who the hell is paying 400
CVP/PJT
And Qatalyst
Do 1YR analysts get anything other than base?
