How often do banks increase analyst base salaries?
Trying to be vague here so I don’t give personal details, but let’s say I was hired as an investment banking analyst last year, and deferred my start date by a full year. This means I am coming in with FT analyst 2024 group instead of FT analyst 2023 group. I signed my contract last year for XYZ base. Is it normal for banks to increase base salaries every year? If I am coming in with this new analyst class will I be underpaid compared to the other analysts ? Would HR match my salary to the other analysts if I asked? Or would this be a bad look since they agreed to defer my start date and I should just be grateful for the free year and job security.
Base salaries raise from AN1 to AN2 and etc. they don’t often raise AN1 salaries, maybe once or twice a decade?
My bank raised AN1 salaries after I joined which was in like 2021? They said they would compensate me in my bonus which was BS, but such is life. Thanks Houlihan
Since the great recession, there has been a singular salary increase at the BB level(85k - 110k). Banks very rarely increase A1 salary, you do receive a small boost from the A1 to A2 years, but you are coming in as an A1 so it doesn't matter.
Not true. Was at $60k from 2006-2010 (~$90K in 2024$), $70k from 2010-2015 (~$95K in 2024$), $85k from 2015-2021 (~$105K in 2024$), $100k from 2021-2022, $110k since.
Equivalent figures for London are £35-40k in 2008 ($70-80K in 2008$), £40-45k in 2010 ($60-70K in 2010$), £45k in 2013 ($70k in 2013$), £50k in 2015 ($75k in 2015$), £60-65k in 2021 ($80k in 2021$), £70k from 2022 ($90k in 2022$). So from 25% above US base pre-GFC, to 20% below US base today.
thanks biden!
cant wait for when a salad in nyc costs 50 dollars
😂😂😂😂
The cost of a salad + delivery fees + tip is already nearing the $30 meal stipend limit in New York. Tears for the bankers that are still at $25 meal stipends in 2024.
