RE Salary increases 2022

Are you expecting base salaries to be at a minimum increase >10% to accommodate inflation for analysts?

If it’s lower than this are you leaving? I think I will. Every recruiter I’ve spoken with in the past 6 months have said there is a complete under supply of qualified analysts, easy to move around with salary bumps right now.

 

As much as I enjoy the firm I'm with, if I don't see at minimum 10% base increase I will start shopping around. I'm hoping I'll see my base increase ≈20%, as OP mentioned above the market for analyst is a full 180 compared to this time last year and I have to imagine firms see the importance of taking care of the current team opposed to filling those spots if someone was to leave.

This just seems short sided to me. Leaving a good situation to go into the unknown for 10% doesn't seem like enough. Especially because during the down years, the good companies take care of you (e.g. if you got paid 100% of your bonus last year when shit was in freefall, hard to be mad that you aren't getting 100% upside this year).

And if you hate your job/company anyways, then no amount of $ will get you to stay (ask all of the GS analysts that left even after getting 110k base salaries).

I know as an analyst it feels like you are never getting paid enough, but you are trying to build a career here, not just a job.

 

Curious to hear some thoughts on an offer I just got. Currently at a very small repe shop with 80k base, 20-30% bonus and really good befits. I just got an offer from an industrial developer that is crushing it and there is a lot of room to grow in the company as they are growing rapidly (this will be my second year in real estate fyi, so an2) for 70-90k base with only a 10% bonus. Any thoughts on how to negotiate this offer?

 

I'm in my first year as a research analyst with one of the big brokerages. I'm currently making $60k with no bonus. The senior research analyst I work with is making $97k (has a MBA though while I only have a bachelor's). Our performance review is soon, would it be reasonable to negotiate my salary to $80k? I have been taking on extra projects outside of my role and my managers and the brokers I help have been giving me a lot of positive feedback. Don't know if a 20k raise is too ridiculous to ask but I rather shoot my shot on the high end and negotiate down than negotiate up on that number
