Mind sharing which desk you are on and whether this is a European or american bank? And which year assoc are you? I'm a 2nd year assoc, and pay for last year was ~220k base and 70% bonus. Don't want to give away too much but i work on a structuring desk at a bulge. Seems like i am being lowballed

Since we are doing this, current assoc at a BB IBD, pay for last year as an analyst was 170k + 170k all cash. Got my A2A promotion at the start of the year and already having turned down 2 PE offers. Bump up in base to 240 and from what i hear bonus at associate level start to really take off. For all the juniors out there keep grinding it out! Pain is temporary jiayou!

Can understand the money is tempting but is the grind worth it.?

Anyone in Hedge Fund space care to share their salary numbers? Quite curious about this space.

Hope 2021 will be better

Hi everyone - anyone can share some insight into progression in a VC as a first job fresh out of university. I do not have investment banking experience, nor an MBA.

Will my career progression be hindered because of the above factors?
What salary and increment can I look forward to?

Hang in there, it should get better after your first promotion!
