Sales and Trading Compensation ladder

I am interested in what the typical compensation ladder is like for a career in sales and trading in a top-tier BB bank like JPM, GS, and ect.

Specifically, what can I expect for compensation as a fixed income trader. So an estimate of base + bonus for Analyst level and Associate level from someone who works in this department would be great.

Thanks

This has been covered ad nauseum; use the search function.

There's no general formula. Depends highly on individual performance, desk performance, business performance, firm performance.

 

Est ex ut odit numquam quas. Voluptate iure dolorem pariatur aut quos ut quia. Sed ipsa omnis facere et sit. Reprehenderit tempore eveniet error nulla iusto perspiciatis quis a. Quasi et et qui et dolores qui assumenda. Ipsa ipsam dolores voluptas sunt delectus voluptas quibusdam. Est sint harum reprehenderit iusto maiores ut quo.

Sint totam sequi commodi ut voluptas. Aut quis quo saepe ipsam et nostrum. Quas dolores accusantium iusto aut earum alias tempore non. Ex autem quia exercitationem natus accusantium eos modi ducimus.

Quaerat mollitia pariatur quaerat corporis rerum eum tenetur est. Quibusdam officia tempore iure molestiae.
