I guess that depends on your definition of “desirable”. I’m non-IB and make $165k total comp. I’m happy with that but others may not be.

What do you mean by desirable? For me, I am contented. But I'm not sure about the others.

Do you mean desirable as in attractive on a resume?

I'm curious about the meaning - to me, it's pretty solid comp-wise and I don't think it's THAT big of a deal...but I guess to each their own

I’d like to move to IB, currently working in Management consulting (Boutique firm in Europe / Porsche consulting). 1 YOE, Engineering background with a master in management and finance, does the profile match better with a boutique bank to later try to apply to a larger one or should aim at the largest banks first and keep boutique firms as back-up? Any advice on the career switching?

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈
