Pay: IBD v. S&T v. ER v. AM/PWM/IM v. PE/HF v. Big4

Curious about how the pay compares across the different divisions.. It would be great if you can post some specific numbers. I'm specifically interested in the first-year figures out of undergrad.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know many of the numbers so please make corrections but I think:

S&T 60K base + 20-60k bonus IBD 60K base + 20-60k bonus Big Four 50k base + 10-15k bonus PWM 55k + 10-15K bonus PE similar to IBD maybe higher bonus

 

Big Four bonus seems a little high (unless you are only talking about transaction services) and the bottom range bonus bonus for S&T and IBD seem a little low (hopefully!)
