WF is one of the lowest paying banks for CB. They were the last to raise analyst salaries to the new market rate and kept associates at $125k base. Bonuses used to be ~$10k for analysts but it's slightly improved to 25%.
CB there doesn't really make sense when you're consistently working 60-70 hours a week and getting paid a significant discount to IB. For that reason I would recommend JPM/Citi/BOA over them.
Thanks for the response. Was it 10K under the old base, or 10K after the raise to 100 base?
Hi, is this still true? What’s the updated corporate bank reputation now
