Seems like the majority of bonuses are out and was wondering which banks are considered paying "top comp". Feel like there's a lot of misinfo with which banks pay the "highest" and wanted a consolidated list.

Perella, CVP, PJT paid the best at mid levels this year. In terms of analyst comp, seemed to be CVP, EVR, PJT, PWP, MOE (not in order just grouping). Basically the boutiques vastly outpaid this year, analyst comp was close at all of them enough for me not to be able to clearly rank (besides CVP the best).
Associate and VP comp was certainly the best at CVP PWP PJT this year however.
Looking across threads it seems like all the EBs sans LAZ—unsure if they've given out bonuses yet—are in line this year for mid level. Pretty wild how much of a divergence there has been between EBs and BBs.
Does the top really vary that much? PWP CVP and PJT all paid relatively consistent from past 3-4 years
Santander
Heard BofA is paying pretty well with record bonus
Certainly a record, but won't go as far as saying "pay well" lol
The top EBs paid great this year (think PJT/CVP/PWP), but the real top of street were banks like Q/Dyal&Co/Natixis
Bruh okay james
Dude are you alright mentally
Genuinely curious how many silver bananas and monkey shits you have
Not going to say exactly where, but there's an EB that pays their an1s 140k base btw
Same as always, Qatalyst and Centerview
