Corporate Finance Grad Compensation

Hi,

First time poster. I've noticed some useful threads on sharing 2011/2012 compensation in capital markets for analysts/ associates. All the numbers seem pretty consistent (all high).

However, I'm a lot less clear on the average for corporate finance grads. I know it would depend largely on industry, role, program, region, etc. but I'm still interested in hearing others who have recently graduated (2010/11/12) who have entered corporate finance, their comp, and maybe briefly their role/ program.

Thanks

Grad: 2012
Role: Rotation Program (working towards CFA) in Canada
Company: -
Base: 52
All In: ~62

 

CF is 100% dependant on company and division. Most companies operate off of a paygrade scale as well.

I would say (pending city) $40k to 50K for someone right out of college and starting his first year of work is a realistic range.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

Looking at employment stats for my school the salary range for those in CF (i'm fairly sure all of them did FLDP type programs) was 52.500-62,000 with a median of 59,000. I'll be starting at a salary about right in the middle of that range with an expected all in first year of 65-70.
