Currently at a target MBA starting investment banking recruiting for a Post-MBA Associate role. Haven’t been able to get solid numbers from second years. Would love to know Base and Bonus for As1 - As 3 across the street. Real numbers only please, no BS

please use the search bar. odds are - banking isn't for you if this easy to find data needs to be spoonfed
consider consulting.
Fresh and original post. Next up, a prestige ranking thread.
Dude this is just an embarrassing post. Base numbers are absurdly easy to find. Search on WSO and find it in hundreds of threads, or go on Glassdoor/similar website to find the same.
Bonuses, why would a second year student know that whatsoever? They haven't received a bonus and likely wouldn't even ask current bankers for datapoints because they're just trying to get the return. Plus, bonuses vary so wildly year to year and across banks, the answer to this would be something like anywhere from $50k-$400k which is not useful.
Also should update your title, you're not a summer associate yet.
Seems like you aren’t cut out for investment banking. I feel bad for any shop that gives you a look.
Haha the fact that you did spend time and energy to write a reply but instead of providing the answer, you judged a person's ability to achieve in IB is another level of toxicity that I have never encountered
I beg to differ. Something that can easily be found via a simple google search doesn’t warrant a ‘nice’ response. It also questions how smart are these MBA associates.
can't wait till that level of toxicity you've never encountered levels up to god mode if you ever work in IB
You think 'look it up yourself' is toxic? You're going to LOVE this job.
I go to a non core school and know this... one of the 2nd years straight up told me what his return offer was (without me asking) during our coffee chat. I kind of doubt if OP is even at a target MBA. This is really easy information to get, heck even career management services have a ball park number they told us at a pre-MBA event.
What a flat-out embarrassing question to ask. Shame shame
Lmao - you want that formatted boss?
How are you at a target if you're this retarded? Christ, just ask your career center...
mba target means like top 25. he would've said M7 if it's M7 so it's clearly not.
Probably at UT-Austin or some random regional target
At least $175k base + $100k-$250k ish bonus (varies on many factors).
Sorry OP theres so many pussies on here that can’t answer a simple quick question
