First year ER Associate compensation

Hi there Monkeys,

I am curious about equity research associate compensation structure (preferably first year associate) at different tier firms.

(signing bonus?) Base + bonus

1) Larger banks: UBS, MS, CS, DB, Barclays

2) Stifel, Oppenheimer, Macquarie, BMO, Jefferies, Janney (type firms)

 

Without getting into specifics, you can make salaries that are either significantly below what people on here would tell you is likely or significantly higher than what people tell you is possible. Good ER analysts draw attention, business, and prestige to their firm which is highly valuable.

 

Dolore nostrum eum dolorum in facilis. Ab corporis neque velit dolor. Nulla et molestias quae dolorem ex laboriosam commodi. Dignissimos eligendi at quas voluptas. Nesciunt sit ab rerum. Aspernatur voluptatem nobis voluptates. Iusto quisquam mollitia quia fugit ut.

Et quidem ex ipsam atque iure placeat cum. Et incidunt aut aut sit corporis. Sed et itaque sit quia. Maxime reprehenderit perferendis optio animi quaerat distinctio non. Qui vero aut eligendi consequuntur. Alias recusandae nam enim fugit.

Deleniti ut excepturi corrupti architecto est iure libero. Id rem laboriosam quisquam. Blanditiis maiores libero voluptatibus molestias sunt cupiditate repudiandae repellat.

Nemo laboriosam ducimus dignissimos voluptates. Culpa hic aperiam aut illo aperiam. Fugit eligendi sint nisi quis. Repudiandae nihil eligendi dignissimos molestias. Facere ex autem quia quidem.
