I sure hope corporate banking is included as well. Morale is lower than ever, due to their snub the first time around, and everybody's pissed!

In case anybody's wondering, every single BB & MM corporate banking group (even those not housed within CIB [e.g. JPM]) received salary raises to match investment banking pay with exception of Wells Fargo. They've already lost a number of heavy hitting senior folk, and their juniors are all headed towards the door. If this keeps up, all that will remain of Wells CB will be a flaming pile of sh*t!

 

It's honestly pathetic. I cannot understand how Charlie expects to grow as a reputable investment bank, while coming off as super cheap, and treating employees (did I mention PR?) like absolute garbage.

No jokes, this penny pinching will burn down everything he's created. Smh.

 

As an ex-employee of Wells, I will say that their corporate banking team is slacking. They don't work that hard therefore bonus target was ~20% when I was there. The work they do is much more like commercial banking at other banks, just because they're housed under IB doesn't mean they do a lot of work. Anyways, just saying that they could probably get away with paying that type of comp because they are essentially competing with commercial banks for talent. Nevertheless, it's a great stepping stone for IB, Wells have probably the best internal mobility.

 

Lol at associates not getting anything. If that isn't a sign to jump ship then I don't know what is. Analyst pay is now 100k, 105k, and 110k and isn't going into effect until July. Even with this news CB analysts are still pissed that Wells refuses to raise us to IB base.

 

If they're really doing 110 125 135 that's pretty insane tbh as it's a 15k jump from year 1 to 2. IB is def getting a decent raise tm if all this is true. I thought there was always a 10k difference or 5k between A1 A2 A3. So wouldn't it be 110 120 130?

 

Is that how this usually works? I’m an incoming SA and if they bumped our hourly even more that would be nuts

 

I think they just bumped SA comp. Got an email today saying that they’re increasing the hourly rate and it’ll be reflected in a future updated offer letter in spring (incoming 2023 SA here).

 

Anyone think RBC follows behind with base raise as they are only notable left at 100 still?

 

Lots of threads have answered this before but for IB the only notable groups are REGAL, industrials, and FIG maybe(not sure about fig tbh). REGAL does very well comparatively and pays extremely well as well. Analysts usually exit to great PE shops in two years if they want. Industrials is also very strong in terms of PE exits. Lev fin also is decent because of wells balance sheet but they don’t do any modeling.

 

Yeah REGAL is definitely crazy gotta be the top group at wells. Not too many high performing groups there though…

 

Saw that, does this mean no OT then? Bc I know before it was 40 base then 60 OT.
