Q: What should be the salary in Investment Banking(Prime Brokerage) operation with a work experience of 5-6 years?

A: That depends on the size / status of Company….25 to 30 k/ pm.

Q: What is the average salary of a person with an MBA from NYU? investment banking…?
Ok, so my mom works in an investment bank but is not an investment banker. She makes a little over $100,000 per year, but she is not satisfied, so she wants to go to NYU for their MBA program. She would like to know the average salary that she would be making. Thanks a lot.

A: If she has a kid posting this, then I would think she is older. I doubt she would take one of the jobs that a 24 year would take (80 hours/week, being treated like crap), so I also doubt she will ever get one of the high paying jobs. You just do not get the job by getting the MBA, you still have to pay some dues when you get to the IB.

She would probably do a little better than she is doing now, but her base would not go up. It would probably go down and then have a bigger bonus. I would expect $100K total comp to start (since she will not work 80/hours) and then go up from there

Q: If investment banks pay such a high salary, why doesn’t everybody want to work in one?
I hear that programmers working for investment banks get salaries like $150,000 right out of college.

If that’s the case, why don’t they all go to investment banks? Why do so many of them just want to go to Google or Microsoft?

A: Because a lot of people find that kind of work boring. A paycheck’s nice, but if you hate what you’re doing, you won’t do as good a job, and you’ll be miserable. And the corporate culture can be stifling if you’re not the buttoned-down type.

Q: What’s the average salary for an Operations Vice President inc bonus percentile within Investment banking?
Is it possible to move smoothly into middle office?

A: Maybe 240 to 260k after bonus, before taxes at a bulge bracket.

Q: How much does a typical first year analyst get paid in an investment bank; base salary, and bonuses?
ie how much is the base salary, the sign on bonus and year end bonus?

A: £40 to £45k. Bonuses depend on the firm – say £15 to £20k in year one obviously dependent on performance.

Q: How does career progression / salary differ between trading and structured finance within investment banking?
I am considering taking an offer in structured finance or going for a trading role. I am trying to weigh up my options

A: Trading is more commission based. You will have a more stable salary in structured finance. Trading you can progress to opening up your own trading desk or buying a seat on the exchange. With structured finaince you can progress pretty high up also. Lot of money to be made. I would be more comfortable with the structured finance personally though.

Q: Which division in Investment Banking offers the highest salary?
To fresh graduates.
and 5 years down the line

A: As long as you are on the investment banking side (rather than the stock research side or wealth management or any of those non-transactional parts) you’ll make serious dollars vis-a-vis anything else you could get post-undergrad, so don’t worry whether its corp. fin. or structured finance or fixed income securities or muni. finance.

5 years down the line — that’s an odd question. Most analysts work 2 years, then go to business school, and then after business school they go back into banking, into private equity, into operations, etc. ….

If you want to make a lot of money investment banking is a great option if you have the credentials and the fortitude for it, but honestly don’t get so greedy that you come off as crass. If you told someone at a GS interview that you were interviewing at their group rather than another group because you thought you’d make more money, odds are they’ll think you don’t know what you are talking about it since every investment banker worth his or her salt makes serious cash.

Q: How much bonus does an investment banking analyst make ?
I intend to go into finance/investment banking (after i graduate and hopefully the economy recovers) . How much salary+ bonus would a NEW investment banking analyst make at an i-bank such as goldman sachs or jp morgan. also, i intend to get a Masters in financial engineering after i graduate from college…..is it even worth it? will it give me a better shot at a higher position at an investment bank or will i have to start at the same level as college graduates?

A: At that level, the bonus is not significant. To make the big dollars, you need to become a banker with close ties (i.e., give a lot of money) to the President, the Speaker, and various other corrupt politicians.

Q: Investment Banking Salaries?
How much money does an Investment Banking Analyst/Associate at a top firm make in a year? More specifically in New York City.

A: Analyst make $60-80,000 annually + $20-60,000 bonus. Salary is based on credential and experience such as where you got your undergrad as well as how well the businesss did that year. MBAs are obtained after 2-3 years of being an analyst and are promoted to the associate level. Associates make $90-120,000 annually + $50-100,000 bonus. Long stroy short, analyst make 120k and associates make 200k. Plan on long hours (100 the 1st year 80+ the second) yet rewarding work. Plan on having top grades from top schools (like Harvard) if you are going to get a job in New York. Salaries outside of New York, Boston, San francisco make UP to 30% less but offer a better lifestyle.

After being an associate for 5 years comes VP at 500k then VP for 5-8 years to Managing Director at 1-2 million.

But you will probably not last that long.
