Bump - interested
People were pretty happy today, rough ranges below:
ASO1: 360-400
ASO2: 460-500
ASO3: 540+
Wow...
Wow
Wow
Wow, the BB - EB comp disparity just becomes bigger. Crazy that PWP ASO2s were clearing ~$200k more than quite a good portion of BB ASO2s this year...
Is this bonus number or full comp
Definetly not just bonus
This gives me faith after seeing the MS numbers… I’m at a similar firm.
Moe/laz?
Wow...
Some data points corroborating the above, two of my ASO1 buddies made 360 and 370 respectively, and one of my ASO2 friends cleared 490. Seemingly there was a huge jump between ASO1 and ASO2 numbers.

What range did you see for ASO1?
That just bonus or total comp?
Should be total comp at assoc1 based on other thread
What about analyst bonuses?
IS PWP's number top of street this year? I saw the bonuses range higher than PJT's this year and similar range to CVP's based on the other thread's comp.
All three are pretty much in line. As2 and As3 are spot on at the top end at ~500 and ~575. Have heard slightly higher As1 numbers at CVP/PJT in the low 400’s
what is TPH&Co. email format? Ik it is part of pwp but i’m not sure if they have the same email format
Anyone know the analyst bonuses?
Came out months ago. First year comp was 170k-190k. Paid top of street
Just a single data point but one of my friends got $80k for his bonus last July as a first year analyst.
Anyone have any numbers for TPH?
Can’t speak for ASO2+ but the ASO1 was roughly what the range is in the note at the top
How does this yea compare to prior years for ASOs and VPs? Always knew PWP was an EBish payer but kind of bucketed them with Greenhill and Guggenheim in my head and a notch below PJT/CVP/Evercore.
Historically very good pay too. 2021 was obviously a big year but always have heard top comp. Maybe I’m just fresh out but I’ve always Bucketed MOE/LAZ with PWP in terms of prestige and PJT/CVP in terms of pay
any numbers from west coast
Same numbers from what I heard, anecdotal data points: ASO1s were high 300s, ASO2s were ~480, ASO3s were mid 500s
got it - thank you
lmao just checked the bofa post - $$$>>>I will just do EB next time
Seems like PWP, CVP, PJT clearly were top of street this cycle
How were the hours at PWP this year?
Anecdotally I heard pretty busy. Due to the firm business model even if they aren’t announcing as many transactions, they still do “strategic advisory” work for some of their clients. Firm didn’t suffer as much as others with that and RX offsetting some M&A downturn.
How does that translate to hours ? 60 hours a week on average for ASO3 or VP level?
How was comp last year?
Good similar range
bump
Bump - any more numbers for ASO1?
