<p>I agree with this.
Cellardweller, my information was from my son, who is a Wharton grad and started out as a BB analyst a few years ago and yes he was promoted to an associate after two years so you could say he was a star performer. His salary was never shared with his aunts and uncles or out of industry friends because it was none of their business and he did not like to brag so I am surprised you know your nephew’s compensation. My son now works at a hedge fund and has hired ex-IB analysts and associates for his strategy so he is very familiar with bonuses and compensations from all banks. I think your figures are a bit out of whack for 1st or 2nd yr analysts.</p>
