Wells Fargo Compensation?

Does anyone have real info on Wells Fargo’s CRE compensation for analysts/associates? WSO’s data doesn’t seem credible to me because the reviews and actual salary data are contradicting. Could a 1st year analyst expect $85K base and $5K bonus?

Not at all. It’s extremely common to ask what they’ve budgeted for salary and bonus. Every interview I’ve ever been on I ask - I have no desire to interview for a role that doesn’t pay what I’m looking for. Even if this is your first job out of college, you’re entitled to know. What if they told you they are paying $40K, you might say no thanks. 
In many instances, the potential employer will also ask you what you want to make or what your target compensation is. They have a budget in mind. Always ask what their budgeted compensation is to make sure you are in alignment. It is a waste of everyone’s time if you are not.
