Around ~70k prorated to the 10 week period, plus a housing allowance. So most likely 70,000/52(weeks) x 8-10 (depending on length of the program) + 1-2k housing. All in all, maybe 14-16k total (assuming your bank doesn't pay overtime, which most don't). If the bank pays overtime, then possibly much higher (I think this is more common on the west coast).

 

So, it depends on specific bank policies regarding overtime and bonuses, but for all bulge brackets, you'll get $70,000 prorated (about $13,500). Some firms will give you a relocation bonus (generally $3,000) and some firms will give you overtime (often on a declining scale, so that the more you work, the less your overtime pay per hour is). Apparently, SAs in California have it best due to their overtime labor laws.

When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

is that a joke? the california w/ overtime?

Does CA require 1.5x overtime pay?

Even if they do, someone working at $20/hour normal, $30/hour OT would make $2,600 gross for a 100 hour week. That's $26K max gross. No way CA SA pay is anywhere near what that post quoted.

California w/ overtime:

70,000 prorated = 1346/wk / 40 hrs = 33/hr all hours up to 40 are paid at 33/hr between 40-60 hrs is 1.5 x 33 = ~50/hr 60+ is 2x 33/hr = ~66/hr

This is all BB in California that pay OT.

I know for sure at CS/Citi/MS/BAML

BAML pays OT in California, but not on this scale. It uses a different equation that is more similar to 0.5x.

This is wrong in a couple of ways. The $70k prorated isn't based on 40 hours per week. It is based on 60 hours with 20 of those being paid at 1.5x. It works out to about $19/hour and $28.50 for the first OT bracket. Also, when you cross 60 hours you don't get double the OT rate. You get 2x, so $38/hour. So:

hours 1-40 @ $19 hours 40-60 @ $28.50 hours 60+ @ $38

At 10 weeks averaging 85 hours per week you'd take home $22,800 salary + $2-3k housing bonus, so about $25,000 pre-tax.

Actually, it depends on the bank. First off all, I think BB's are the only banks that pay OT (Maybe with the exception of some of the other larger banks). Second of all, each bank has their own way of calculating SA's pro rated salary. ie) One bank might pro rate it at 65 hours and another might pro rate it at 40 hours. Either way, the difference turns out to be almost negligible if you end up working 90 hours or so.

Nonetheless, Rupert's estimates are a little more realistic. 40-50k? wtf?

I interned at CS/Citi/DB last summer in their bay area office and I can confirm that these numbers are accurate. However I'm pretty sure BAML has a different way of calculating the starting rate and it turns out to be much lower.
