At the analyst level, top REIB groups like BAML/MS pay around 150k/170k all-in for first year and second year. Top REPE shops like Starwood pay slightly higher at around 180k for first year and 200k for second year. Hours will be roughly the same, with REPE having more visibility. 

 

Dude a first year at a BB is not making 170k, 150k is more appropriate 

 

You should be clearing $100k+, probably even $120k+ out of undergrad at most known shops in major cities (at least in NYC, SF, and Boston). I’m an older guy and even lending roles back then paid $100k+ with ~50 hr work weeks right out of undergrad.

If you look into the numbers in the compensation posts, most people work in smaller family-run shops and/or are in low CoL areas.
