CVP blew a lot of them out of the water and roths updated their base (MM though). So maybe?

 

surely with this number of firms increasing they have to respond with something ?? 

 

Most banks measure on total comp rather than bonus being a percentage of base so yeah, I'd anticipate lower bonuses to make up for the lost cash with the higher base salaries. If not and I stand corrected then big congrats on that.

 

Is this for incoming FTs across all cities? Can't seem to find anything about this. Just two people on another post regarding Truist said analysts got "six-figure bonuses" you can probably find the post it was from today. Not sure what is true at all now. Thank you.

 

MS needs to take one for the team and increase base pay so that JPM/GS have to follow - JPM outright said they wouldn't and we all know GS cheap ass isn't gonna do anything if they don't absolutely have too. 

 

I feel like if top banks can continue attracting talent without raising pay, why would they. I hope all pay is raised but the biggest name to do so thus far is either baml or guggenheim. I remember in one thread someone who worked at Evercore was told by leadership that they don’t index against baml so no reason to raise pay, it’s dumb but it’s true. 

 

theyre losing a ton of top talent at wharton at least... most would 100% prefer EB 

 

so interns not getting the increase? letter says 85, is that something that will be updated?

 

I hope so man, us markets guys drove most of the revenue last year and got worked hard too

 

So I won't argue about evercore losing its luster, but how much do you guys actually think it's JW versus the effort to grow the bank well beyond the size of other independent advisory firms (boutique seems like a silly way to describe evercore now)? Was that growth target really from JW or was it kicked off by RS?

Just interested for discussion purposes. 

 

I have a JPM offer and after speaking to contacts would most likely get M&A or HC (although very competitive and a risk). I also am waiting for GS which should be coming in July. 

Thus, would people take JPM over GS/MS?

 

Can someone explain why they wouldn't? Half their selling point is the top comp? 

 

Baird is apparently having a call to discuss comp (source from another thread), but I imagine with JPM making a move, BBs and MMs who index against "street" pay will eventually follow suit. Especially since Blair prides themselves in paying "above street", I can't imagine them not eventually caving and matching base bumps. Not sure the implications for total comp though.
