Hey there,

I was wondering what the pay but more importantly bonus would be for a FT ECM position at a top BB in London.

Thanks

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“My mentor got on at 4 AM to make the session work with my schedule, which says a lot about how much he cares about helping students. He walked through every single point I brought, never rushed me, and made sure I actually understood each one before moving on. He was patient and direct, and he gave me honest feedback when something needed work. I left the call with a clear plan and a lot more confidence than I had going in. I would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for real, practical guidance.”

1st year pay ranges from 42-45k. Top BBs (eg GS) have decided they can get away with paying below street. Bonus is impossible to stay.
