Summer Analyst Total Comp

Incoming summer analyst and getting paid hourly, so I’m just curious how much pre-tax comp you guys made as a SA since I feel like the hourly salary could give a pretty wide range of total comp due to the different groups and deal flow. Thank you and pls share.

that`s far less than i was expecting to save, curious if this was because you choose to spend more or do you think this is the average to expect when working in NYC?

 

Weekdays, I didn’t spend much. Maybe $10-$20 a day. Weekends though I spend several hundred. It just depends on what you want to do over the weekends. 

Edit: My weekday discretionary spending was generally limited to buying lunch. My bank had their own in-house lunch every day, but it was pretty sucky, so I and several other interns would just buy our own lunches across the street frequently. 

 

maybe an EB or some sweaty groups but I think even there its .5OT and yeah that's what I assumed too but than I also read in some previous wso posts that banks dont allow it and my group/BB is not known for extreme hours either so I can expect the same no of hours

I've heard some places have a "budget" for your OT which cannot be exceeded no matter how many hrs you actually work. It's not like we're a super value add so i'm not complaining but would still like to know regardless

 

Most banks will pay same regardless of hours worked. Only exception I can think of is Wells Fargo, who does pay hourly  and does pay OT. This is only for interns though. Full time analysts are paid a fixed income. I have a couple friends who saved more than $30k working at Wells as interns. 
 

I guess that makes sense. They have to woo their interns, since a lot try to re-recruit. 

 

Interned at a bank that pays 1.5x the hourly rate for OT, and it seemed to be frowned up to work more than 25-30 hours/week OT as an intern. Fwiw

 

Hourly pay I think was 52.88/hr for up to 40 hours a week. Basically, this equates to a 110 salary on a hourly basis for 40 hours a week. And then 1.5x that hourly for hours above 40. Typical hours were 50-60 a week. If you worked more than that, you still were only allowed to put 60 because HR didn't want us doing more than that.
