Just curious, but how many of these numbers were contributed by people who were NOT analysts?
Staffers and Comp. Consultants seem like more reliable sources.
Just to clarify, are these total comp numbers or JUST bonus numbers? If these are just bonus numbers, that means 1st year analysts at GS are bringing in $170K+??

Top tier bonuses. Base for first year is 60k so you are correct in that the BEST first year at Goldman will make $170k pre-tax.
And in one million years of doing this, you could buy Berkshire Hathaway… see yesterday’s post:

Some other place are showing different numbers

RE: different numbers -
those numbers are from Jan and are based off of last years compensation. 1st year analysts last year got 80k Year end bonus.
Anon 6:13:
Did the number 2006 not give it away?
“NEW – 2006 Investment Banking Compensation Report
Jan 9, 2007, 4:33 pm”
the Vault numbers are even lower.
Subtract $20K – $25K and these might be close to being correct.
does anyone have numbers for equity research?
Yes please, could someone please post the numbers for equity research if they have them?
so seems no one is updating this any more
There is no GS analyst making $170k – that’s preposterous

Last year, as a first year analyst at a bulge bracket bank, my total comp was $60k base and $80k bonus ($140k total).
This year, total comp is expected to be in the $190k – $200k range ($70k salary + $120k-$130k bonus).
For everyone who thinks these numbers are too high, you’re clearly not working at an investment bank and have no idea how good this year has actually been. Either way, will have confirmation a week from today and will repost.

You’re actually wrong. Banks aren’t as aggressive this year as you think. Real numbers are in at half the bulge brackets.
Citi just paid their top rated 1st years £49k bonus.
Citi top tier 1st yrs got 100k bonus
bonus ranges widened this year… a select few got more than “the range”
Citi bonues:
1st = $90k
2nd = $115
3rd = $140
If you think these numbers are crazy quit your job at Black and Decker and get a real one on Wall Street
what did goldman pay?
Citi – Top Tier M&A Analyst was 90
Top Tier DCM was 80k
Credit Suisse Top Tier DCM was 75
These are confirmed from analysts actually getting paid out.
ML DCM is not paid out until Jan, don’t know about IBD. (ML’s IBK)
Just FYI: Top first year at Wachovia was $90K
Numbers are right but the bonus tax is some 40% in NY. I.e. a 60k base salary with a 100k bonus is only about 120.

after obama, reid and pelosi take full control, ~165k in new york will net you around 95g’s a year.
local taxes will rise as well, so take out another 5k.
max out your 401k like all good business students are taught, and now you’re down in the 70′s.
so unless mummy and daddy hook you up with a nice little place, most analysts live in slightly more privacy than they did in college rooms. sucks having 2 roommates, especially when one of them farts a lot.
genius– these are 07 numbers. check the dte at the top.
