Based on the most helpful WSO content, the standard base salary for a 1st Year Analyst in London is approximately £50k. Bonuses typically range from £10k to £50k, depending on the analyst's ranking and performance. This brings the average total compensation to around £70k before tax. While certain elite boutiques may offer slightly higher base salaries, the difference is not significant.

As for variations between teams, there isn't specific data in the WSO dataset indicating vast differences in compensation across teams within Nomura London. However, performance-based bonuses and team-specific dynamics could lead to some variation.
