Dude333 I think salary ranges make sense, but we also know that it can be very hard to get the higher end. Can someone provide the median salary as well? I think this will help others to know the market rate.

Thanks. So after adjusting for 25% bonuses, the "all-in" figures will be:

AVP: 94k-188k
VP: 125k-250k
SVP: 188k-375k
ED: 250k-500k
MD: 313k-625k

And the upwards corporate ladder is not easy for every to climb - simple truth is, in any industry, top of the pyramid is always small and tough to get to.

Just to provide what's relevant to this thread, I can share my own employer's corporate level and salary range (annual base) as of 2017. It is one of the top banks from US, one of the systemically important ones
AVP: 75k-150k
VP: 100k-200k
SVP: 150k-300k
ED: 200k-400k
MD:250k-500k

my typical VP colleagues are in their late 30s to early 40s, with 10-15 years working experience. some high achievers reach SVP before 40 but quite rare. MDs are typically those with 20+ years of experience in the industry.

MD level onwards, part of the compensation will be stock. the higher the level, the more of the stock component. our CEO's base salary is 1.5mil, but his total package amounts to 20mil+, majority is stock.

to add more context for expats, for international locations, multiply the above figure with the below coefficients:
New York/San Francisco: x1.5
Chicago/New Jersy: x1.2
Rest of US: x1.1
HongKong: x1.15
Japan: x0.9
China/South Korea: x0.85
Taiwan: x0.7
India: x0.4
Longdon/Frankfurt: x0.8
Belgium: x0.9

These figures are for corporate banking. For investment banking there's another system, generally you multiply these number with 1.5 for same grade in investment banking

Good post! Thanks for sharing

This topic general context is on Bank, therefore it is true that title inflation is there, as what others had pointed out, the newly promoted VP from Bank-A and Bank-B is definitely not equal in the sense of salary package.

I will say that this is true to certain extent, depending on nature of work. But if the office politics are like this, then play the game. Cant beat them, join them.

But majority from what I know does not really play this kind of game, it is a waste of time and we have better things to do.

anything above that like 140-150k onwards will correspond to VP pay already according to what i assumed from the previous posts
I guess the bands are just for estimation but are quite accurate for majority of the cases.

AVP for most Banks do not earn more than 120k and more.
-Calculation of 14 months package (12 months basic + 2 months bonus) - 8.5k/mth

Probably AVP can be more than 120k, if they are older than certain age, say like 45 years old and older or so, maybe.

As what others had mentioned, most graduate with Degree will end up at VP eventually at 40s which is a equivalent "Manager" title at MNCs.
