If you get into IB, your overall comp, assuming you are not getting ripped off/low balled, will be more than you will make after your promotion.
Yes. It should be significantly higher than your current salary. First-year analyst base is usually $85K with bonus running 70-100% of that depending on performance.
I think the real question you should ask yourself is do you want to work twice the hours?
This, I thought everyone started out at 85k-95k depending on BB or EB.
Yes I’m bored out of my mind, I occupy the space for 8 hours I only work for about 2 . Bored out of my damn mind.
Brother, listen to yourself. You’ve got all you could ask for
Sounds like a dream job, working 2 hours a day for 65K...
Only work for two hours and still make that salary... Can I get your job? I work in IB and would trade for that in a heartbeat man. Dont switch!!
This gotta be a troll post, very last line gives it away.
9/10 tho LOL
Doesn't want to take a pay cut.... 20 years later ... Realizes he is capped out at middle class lifestyle.
