2022 Associate Salary (new pay bumps)

Hi all - starting this trend to compare ASSOCIATE pay bumps across the industry. With bonus season already here/around the corner, thought it would be interesting to see what banks/firms are rewarding associates. My bank recently bumped yr 1-3 analysts pay to 100/105/110k but nothing yet for associates. Bonus call is scheduled for next Friday so hoping to get at least the bump to 150k.

Thanks!

Would you happen to know the general progression of an associate? Base/bonus/Total Comp?

Had an interview for a buy side role last year, learned that I was underpaid by 30k. That was without negotiation…unfortunately didn’t get it though.

 

would like to know this as well for S&T. 150 for 1st assoc is a bump, congrats.

assoc/VP BB base comp was traditionally:

A1, A2, A3, VP1

125, 140, 160, 175
