What is the starting salary for a entry level financial analyst in NYC now in late 2017?

If you just graduated from college and have no prior experience and got a job as an entry level financial analyst in Manhattan. What should the starting salary be? I don't want to be too greedy and ask for too high a salary nor be taken advantage of by taking a lowball offer due to a lack of work experience. So what is the average starting salary for a entry level financial analyst now in late 2017 in Manhattan?

seems vague. you might be able to glassdoor the specific positions.

for a 1st yr financial analyst at a bank, should be like 125k ish split amoung 85k base and 40k bonus and probs another 5-10k of sign on

if its with a corporation, like corp fp&a analyse, I would imagine its 60-75k all in in the 55-65k range with 5-10k ish in bonus

I guess I wish someone gave me this advice early on, but if you find a team where you are learning a lot and get along with very well with, that is more valuable than just a higher salary

more like 10-15k max bonus for someone in a corp fin analyst role that's in the analyst program (goes to training as well). Think they are 10k lower on the base as well. Ex gf was in one at JPM.

26 Broadway where's your sense of humor?
