Good luck to an anonymous poster offering $20-$25Gs below what a Tier 3 bank offers for trainees. A grad of the type of school you're looking for at a tier 1 firm will get paid $85-100Gs, plus bonus plus bennies plus a great resume builder.
$30k for a grad of a top-tier school? You're dreaming. I can see that basic arithmetic and learning hand signals would require an Ivy League grad.
I guess tomcole didn't read carefully: the employer wants to hire a gradutae of a bachelor's program. I didn't know I-banks were paying analysts as much as MBAs.
tier 1 firms pay ivy league college grads, or quant grads, upwards of 100, plus bonus etc mbas start in the 130+ range depending on prior experience, some will go to 150+ if you worked as an undergrad there
Tomcole: Any number of recent books by former I-bank employees--"Monkey business" comes to mind first--as well as Vault.com put recent college grad I-bank comp at about $40-50k/year with almost no hope of a bonus; if associates get $130k--which is also inaccurate--while analysts get $100k; why exactly would anyone forgo 2 years' income in order to get an extra $30k/year. Try thinking brfore posting. Since the stock market blowup, I-bank associate salaries plunged even more than lawyers'; expect $85,000 plus bonus for the first year.
As we are talking here today, Wall street is coming off a great '05, even better than the height of '99 at some levels. We are certainly not in a recession anymore. Also, "Monkey Business" was a long time ago (I think '97 or so). A first year analyst would make around 80-95k (depending on group), a first year associate I would think 150-180, a third year associate / junior VP would make 300-350. That being said, the last time I was on the MBA recruiting committee at an ibank was 2003, and I know only a few associates nowadays (most of the associates I know then are either made it to VP, or switched to PE, hedge funds, etc). But I was talking to a recently promoted VP (she got promoted in '05), I was saying "you at least made 300 for '05, right?", and all I hear was giggle on the other end, "at least!".
