You can just go to the WSO company database to get the actual data points. If you can't access it, Barclays has a median Analyst 1 Bonus of 30k putting it at the lowest of any BB besides DB/UBS (if you even count those two).

 

How did you find it? I went to Barclays and filtered salaries by analyst, IB, and NYC and the median was $55k. I have no idea where you got 30k. Even just looking at first year analyst the bonuses were way higher than 30k.

That being said, 90% of the user inputed info on WSO is wrong because people put random shit because they want to unlock other incorrect information that other people inputted for the same reason and should be rarely used.

 

Second database screenshot is slightly higher due to being skewed by inclusion of 2nd year analysts not just Analyst 1s.

The team here puts a lot of work in maintaining the database and making sure it's not just filled with spam. Not so sure about 90% of the salary data being wrong. Also I've heard these numbers on the street myself and they align likewise with other banks too.

 

Go ahead and ignore the other guy crying in here. He's an incoming SA at Barclays unfortunately and I was going to address all his bogus points but it's not worth my time seriously. It's pretty group dependent but for regular BBs (not including DB/UBS that are going through a shitstorm) you will have a median of ~140k all-in first year that assumes a 45k bonus. For EBs things can become very different especially per firm when you compare somewhere like Laz to PJT/CVP. The range here can be so wide and variable from just ~140k all-in like the BBs to clearing over 200k first-year (signing bounses, base, AND year-end bonuses are higher).

You were going to address my points and then you realized I was right and your numbers were wrong. I have no idea how you would even address my points because the facts don't lie. I'm also not going to Barclays I just decided to check because your numbers were so off. Barclays isn't the lowest paying BB i'm pretty sure GS is known to be and UBS is the highest which makes sense cause people will still take Goldman and UBS needs incentive. Every other BB is in between. and the fact you're trying to hard to fudge numbers to make it look like you're right is just sad.

Sorry you got cut by Barclays but don't try to make shit up lmao.
