I know this has been discussed before but here is the question:
What is IB Analyst Job (entry level) Salary Grades (both base and bonus)????
Is it true that it varies by location quite a bit? If yes, state the location you are quoting the salary for?
 
A buddy of mine started at JP Morgan in new york a few months back and he got something around 60K base and a 10K signing bonus. Unfortunately, I'm not too sure about the end of year bonus but I'd guess something around 20-40K - but it really depends on their results.
 
A buddy got into Scotia Capital (Toronto) for an internship as an IB analyst after 2nd year, 45k + bonus ~50% (can't remember the specifics)

A cum. average, Schulich

for first year Analysts, salary range is around 90-110k all in
 
varies from place to place.
NYC at BB for first year would be 60 base, 90 bonus so 150 all in (US)
In Toronto for a canadian bank probably be 70 base, 50 bonus, so 120 all in (C$)
Vancouver would be in line with Toronto as an analyst.
 
Hey guys, I have a additional question. As a BB analyst, are we taking about sell side analyst working on a perticular sector.

Or a analyst in say M&A or restructuring etc. I would be more interested in the restructuring, M&A side of things, was just wondering if you can do this right out of B skool, or do you have to be a generic analyst first?

How does one get into stuff like distressed debt, special situations etc?
 
The bulge bracket IB analysts get a standard package of $60k base and $10k signing.

Year end bonuses for first years last year ranged, on average, from about $70-90k depending on your review.


And the bulge brackets generally pay the same for all offices. The regional boutiques do pay less in cities outside of NYC.

BB all paid fairly close to the same last year...... they however got a stub bonus and not full bonus until 2nd year... so 70-90k was prorated.... all BB pay the same in all offices around the nation... I think JP was the leader last year for pay... merrill was second... they are however trying to get a better rep on pay thus the increases base and bonus....

Analysts are generally paid every summer. That $70k-90k check was cut in July or so. The analysts start their program in the summer.

Associates get pro-rated bonuses. They are at higher comp; I believe the current package is $35k signing + $95k base for first year associates. They get a pro-rated bonus so that after the first year they get paid for a full year at fiscal year end. Bonuses there are definitely better than $70-90k (although their pro-rated cut may be in that range, don't quote me on that).
