Capital Markets Salary Variability

Interested in applying for some brokerage Capital Markets roles, the salary as noted by Glassdoor is quite low for comfort. That’s real estate salaries, but it seems to me like a role like this would have high variability depending on team. Should I expect $50-60k coming in assuming a normal?? How are bonuses usually factoring in.

Base will probably be anywhere from like 50-70k, you should be able to openly discuss bonus/commission potential during the interview process to get a better idea of total comp.  Can’t really give a general answer here bc it varies a lot among teams and will probably depend on how good of a fit you are and how much production your team has.  I think my year 1 commission share was only like $15k but once my broker determined they wanted to keep me on the team after using year 1 as a “trial period” it jumped like 3x year 2.
