How much do you earn and save?

FO, BB.

I am at a S&T desk with a TMT group. Went in straight from an analyst grad programme.

I don’t know whether people inflate their salary but this is what I’m earning.

Wrong dept? Poor performance? Beats me, my fellow batch analysts more or less are in the same pay bracket.

Comp package in my BB have largely been skewed against junior analysts. The pay jump will only happen after making associate which is typically on the 3rd year. Even so, there is a region-wide freeze on promotions.

I have no reason to lie.

Which bank? Know a couple of top-tier BB FO fresh associates (promoted around Aug/Sep), they didn’t mention a promotion freeze

Promotions at junior pay tiers still do happen for first/second year analysts.

But I highly doubt anyone made the jump to Associate (excluding MBA hires). Well not at Deutsche and BofA anyway.

Wow lots of people here making 40k a month. I'm just a poor pleb.

I'm a fresh grad, full time job as a business analyst in MNC. 4.5k base with 3.6k take home. I teach tuition part time on weekends with average monthly income of 1.5k.

So in total
Take home: 5.1k
Insurance: 300
Monthly expenditures: 800
Investments: 3k
Net savings: 1k

Annual fixed bonus of 3 months which I entirely save and invest.

into my 5th year of work at 29, earning early 5k+, and trying my best to save and invest aggressively at about 80-85%(cpf included) of it for these first few years because I am gunning real hard for FIRE before 40. investment portfolio at about 400k today

yea words of wisdom, which was what i realised 2 months ago. i dont have to rush to get a gf, if she comes by it's great and a bonus, if not, it's even better for my wealth building. But eventually maybe after 1-2years, i can be more relaxed and save much lesser, since my initial goal was to get a strong foundation the first few years for it to compound into the future.
