Madrid Compensation

So I wanted to see if we could create a list of starting salaries at Madrid for Investment Banking and Consulting.

This can be helpful for prospective students and there was a Spanish forum that used to do it, but not anymore.

Most information is word of mouth, if you have any inputs please feel free to help.

BB 160???? That would be assuming 100% or 100%+ bonus. What leads you to believe that?

 

Maybe bonus in 2021 was 100% considering base was a lot lower back then and that's where this "figure" comes from but 160 all-in seems highly unlikely to me. I'm spanish and I've never heard these figures at BBs local offices

 

Alantra is a guess because it was paying below the street but updated their salaries last year to stop turnovers. I would probably assume a margin of error of 10% for both Alantra and AZ.

If anyone has updated info, would be happy to update the post.

 

BB base is correct, but bonuses are no where near 100% of base

I would say for AN1 they would be between 30-50% of base
