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.

 

Amet totam sed odio sed voluptate. Repellat tenetur non pariatur quis architecto tempore maiores. Libero quidem aut molestiae fuga. Magni non ut illo inventore illo hic quia. Fugit quasi voluptatem eum dolor occaecati accusamus quia nemo.
