Everything but NYC is the same. Unsure how much higher NYC is but it’s not a ton. I honestly don’t know base range for associates 1-3 but salary usually increases about $10k per year. Bonus range is 80-120% for all associates and it gets higher as you get more experienced (aka the best A1 prob gets 90% bonus, best A2 gets 100%+, best A3 gets 110%+)
