Had a buddy doing BB cmbs originations outta a west coast office like 10 years back making >200k as an associate. I imagine it pays pretty well overall, you get worked pretty hard, and the job security is pretty up and down.

At the big banks (I’m at a CMBS group), Analyst base salaries are same as IB and bonuses are about 15k-50k. Associate is 140k base I think for associate 1 and then goes up I think 10-15k each year. Associate bonuses range from 50-100k. Honestly have no idea about higher level. I know one of my top performing MDs makes about 1-2MM a year all in, but can be higher in good years.

 

Very lucrative skillset to have. Juniors grind hard on repetitive credit related deliverables. Seniors are half relationship managers and half capital markets professionals. Income volatility is about as high as it gets—you’re completely enslaved to the interest rates market and cap rates. Think it’s a wonderful place to have a career but def need to have a certain level of grit.

 

Can anyone provide insight on how the comp for this type of role stacks up at Deutsche bank vs GS/JP/MS.

What would you expect 1st year Associate to pull at Deutsche with base + bonus.
