All,
There was a recent thread regarding good corporate M&A positions (Google, Microsoft, etc.) and unfortunately I'm failing to find it via search. Not sure compensation was mentioned, but I'm looking for general compensation ranges for the following positions in a U.S. corporate M&A group at one of the tech giants:
1) Entry Level Analyst
2) Senior Analyst (2-3 yrs out of College)
3) Manager (Or whatever 1-tier above Senior Analyst is)
I have a close friend who received an offer and I am trying to determine what is "market." If you could cite your info source, that would be fantastic as well.
Thanks.
also interested
Microsoft pays it's finance rotations about 70k base + stock options + random shit for about 80k all-in. They don't hire directly into a corporate M&A role (it's a rotation you can get into, usually people can rotate into that group after the first year rotations are over and start of the second year rotations). I'll double check on the rest of the compensations later.
I believe Google pays finance kids 55k base + performance bonus + end year bonus + random shit for about 75k all in as well. Not 100% sure on the Google compensations numbers, but that's what I've heard. Once again, I don't believe Google hires into corporate M&A out of college either
I can vouch this is legit but I think base this year was 60 but still worked out to right at 75.
Thanks brutalglide, great data points and very much appreciated. Anyone else with similar or conflicting data to share?
I'm assuming these numbers are for entry-level positions out of undergrad.
Does anyone have info (or know a general idea) of what comp would be for someone coming out of 2 years of banking, both before and after an MBA?
I know you would take a pay cut to go from banking to corp dev/m&a, but how large is it?
The analysts I know who exited banking into Corporate Finance positions typically got paid in the ~$90k - $100k range. This is pre-MBA.
Anyone else?
very curious about this.
what? 100K pre-MBA for working at Google M&A. Geez, I'd ditch my BB for that any day of the week...
As far as I know, that's 2 years in. Starting out of UG is right at 75
Comp, I could put you in touch with an old friend of mine who is VP corp dev at a much smaller public tech co, call it $3bn or so. He probably could get you the answers with better confidence. Let me know if interested.
He says 1. He doesn't think many people are hired straight out of college for a position like this 2. $110k+15% cash bonus plus stock/options (definitely an initial grant, possibly something in the way of annual grants) - this is what they are giving a guy they hired after 3 years in a bulge bracket analyst program 3. Will have to check
GenghisKhan,
Thanks for the info. What you presented is enough to get me what I need, so no need to track down the manager level compensation data. This particular company is public and $10 - $20 billion, so I think a $3bn public is a fair comparable. Much appreciated.
My pleasure, Comp
