Received the following data. Anyone in the seats can confirm?
On average.. (top end in brackets)
• Analyst ~$120-160k ($180-200)
• Associate ~$180-300k ($400-500)
• VP ~$225-450k ($500-750)
• D / ED ~$350-600k (700-1.5m)
• MD ~$1-2m (3-5m+, more if management / in an insane year)
Most people get “stuck” at VP for a while until a seat above opens up. Analyst -> VP is 5 years.
