How much do quants at BBs make?

Curious to know how much the quants at BBs make...

From what I understand most quants have a masters or higher. Can anyone confirm that? Also, is there a type of quant work/product that specifically recruits MBAs over PhDs?

I know a first year quant at Citi making roughly 125k all in first year depending on the bonus pool he is in.
