lol. Analysts make 60K+ easily nowadays. The average package is 55K base+10K sign in. Look at vault.com as they have much much more reliable information than on here. Plus in many places the first year analysts can pull of 20-30K bonus if the year is good. So 100K+ isnt at all unheard of.
And no the burnout rate is high becasue the job is mentally, physically and emotionally streneous. LOL even if they just stood around half the day......of the usual 90-100 hour work weeks you would be standin up for 45-50 hours a week. Thats about almost as much a full time worker works. And when you have to do meaningless chores is M&A and corpfin. that does get on your nerves.
If you wanna eat what you kill do S&T at a BB, prop trading at an IB or a top prop firm or work at a hedge funds. There are people at 26 who make 1M+ year in fixed income markets. Also some of the top hedge funds can give a comp package that is really high. Think 140K first year.
