Alvarez & Marsal Alvarez & Marsal does anyone know the average bonus for a first-year HIG analyst? Really stressed about how to budget since the range my recruiter gave me is broad ($2k-$15k). Thanks!

General rule for life in consulting: Plan to live off the low end of your bonus range (or even better, just off your base) -> Be pleasantly surprised when your bonus exceeds that -> Use the excess to have a little fun (or a lot with A&M bonuses) and invest.

Obviously everything is relative, but that range will only increase in absolute size as you become more senior. If you can form good financial habits now they will pay dividends in the long term.

I genuinely don’t know for analysts unfortunately. If the recruiter said 2-15, I’d just plan on like 7. I wouldn’t be afraid to ask the recruiter/whoever gave you your offer about compensation progression either, it’s a fairly normal question and totally fair to ask.
Trust me when I tell you if you stick around with A&M until you’re a manager, you’ll look back at that 13k range and laugh. My realistic range (don’t technically have one but just stating what’s mathematically possible in a bad vs. a good year) is literally 100k. If the year continues as a good one, I could land at $375k, if it takes a turn for the worse, I could land at $275.
