Based on the most helpful WSO content, it looks like you're sharing your compensation details in commercial banking with a focus on real estate, specifically multifamily balance sheet lending. It's great that you're contributing to the transparency in the industry by providing your data.

Here's a similar example from the WSO dataset for comparison:

  • Region: United States - Midwest
  • Position: 3rd Year Analyst in Private Wealth Management
  • Compensation:
    • Base: $85,000
    • Bonus: Varies by market, but for the 2nd year, it was between $15,000 to $30,000+

It's interesting to note that while your base salary is higher than the example from private wealth management, the bonus structure in commercial banking, especially in real estate, can be quite variable. It would be beneficial for the community if you could update with your bonus once you have that information. It helps paint a fuller picture of the compensation landscape in your specific niche of the banking world. Keep climbing those trees of knowledge and sharing the bananas of wisdom, my friend!
