Let's get a nice chain of 2020 comp data from folks in the credit and equity research space. I'll start:
Title: Credit Research Associate (1st year) Rank: Bottom, first post-MBA job Firm Type/Size: Buy-side, $200B AUM Base/Bonus: $110/45 City Description: low COL city in U.S.
Looking forward to seeing how everyone fares for 2020.

Title: Equity Research (3rd year Analyst promoted to 1st year Associate) Rank: Middle bucket Firm Type/Size: Sell-Side (MS/JPM) Base/Bonus: $95/30 --> $125 base City Description: NYC
Isn't analyst more senior than associate in ER?
I'm following conventional bank ladder, as that's how we are progressed: analyst --> associate --> VP --> ED --> MD. But yes Senior analyst is what an ED/MD are called also.

Literally only posting this as it seems way out of whack and I want to understand where the deviation may be - or if I am stupid lucky. Worth noting I came from a non-public markets finance role prior.
Is this for Equity or Fixed Income Research? Sell or buy-side?
Sell-side, equity.

Is it just a down year or are ER bonuses just low in general?
ER bonuses are lower compared to IB bonuses
