Underpaying shops
Title says it all.
Obviously we are all paid decently on paper, but things could go awry when bonus actually arrives.
Sometimes base could be low as well.

Goldman freakin' Sachs
Yes. The famous discount.
I just want to discount that company's ass.

UBS
Barclays
I thought Barclays pays fine.
Adjusting for this year, they no longer pay street.
if we consider $140k all in street in 2021 for A1 then..
GS (the discount is very, very real)
MS
JPM isn’t particularly known for good pay
Barclays as of late has been lagging
UBS
DB
BMO
Stifel however their lifestyle bonus this year will bring them up to street or slightly above
WF but hourly internship pay is clutch w overtime tho
RayJay
BGL and KeyBanc (these two might get a break for CLE COL)
I know for a fact that RayJay is dirt cheap. A friend of mine works there. Bad (won't count it as brutal) hours and almost no bonus. I think he got 10K last year.
In IB? That’s hilariously awful. I worked with some of their team and they always sounded desperate to lateral.
guess this explains why
RJ and WF should also get a break for COL imo. I know it’s possible to be in NYC for both but that’s not where most analyst are.
Don't forget tobin & co
Spectrum Equity underpay analysts
Lazard is known to be lower among other EBs of a similar caliber
Okay. Given how sweaty (that's what I heard) they are, should be paying more. It really makes people wonder if IB is worth it compared to FAANG SWEs.
Recently raised base and bonus to be at street (Centerview still more)
Going to second this. The difference is more noticeable at the Associate level. Lazard pays like a Bulge but has boutique hours
HSBC
Wolfe Research (for ER), especially given how sweaty the place is.
lol every time I see these guys listed when hunting for ER, I always think to myself "Wolfe Research, the perfect research.....for closure" - Frank Reynolds
Is BofA top paying BB? Are Citi / Jefferies / RBC at street?
RBC is at street for analysts.
RBC just raised base to 95k. We'll see if bonus are in line
Yeah BofA is highest paying BB I believe.
Anyone have ideas on Rothschild?
As an incoming SA, my pay is 85k prorated. Not sure what analysts get as bonuses tho.
You must be a bottom bucket
Barclays
Morgan Stanley and GS undoubtedly. Barclays as of late but my friend at the bank seems to think that’ll change
Seems like most of the BBs don't pay very well. Based on this are Citi/BAML/CS the best paying BBs? Wild to me that they're leaders in comp given the reputation they have.
Are you implying they have a bad reputation because they’re not JPM/GS/MS?
Nah sorry, meant that I've seen a bunch of threads on here about analysts complaining how shitty comp is at BAML (outside of that recent base bump) and Citi. CS is the exception to that, I've heard they do comp well.
CVP, am an incoming analyst.
Barclays
Anyone have any insight into what the pay looks like at Macquarie for IB?
Does anyone know for Nomura?
Tobin & Co. In 2nd place of the shittiest bank comps, drum roll please..... BGL.
Lmao I think every bank has been named at this point.
Good summary of this website: everybody claiming to be top bucket but criminally paid below street
How exactly is "street" determined when half the BBs supposedly pay below street
Exactly lol. I guess everyone just wants to be paid the same as EBs?
UBS - no covid bonus and no changes to pay either. Don't even have the Goldman name to somewhat justify the hours everyone is doing.
They finally rolled out an A2A bonus last month and are marketing it as a covid bonus lol
Sooo basically every shop that isn’t CVP / EVR / PJT / GUGG / Q underpays?
Anyone have an idea what a first year analyst comp looks like for Solomon Partners
FTP is dirt cheap
Aren't they 85K base + 80-85 bonus ?
