Currently interviewing for a first year analyst role with a boutique M&A bank. Coming over from Big 4 Management Consulting. Base comp $85K + 75% Bonus. Thoughts? Is that considered really low now for industry standards? Should I see if they are willing to up it? Or is that still a common offer range for a boutique?

It depends. I’m leaving soon after one year to NYC. base is 110k - street level in nyc. There is no way they guarantee your bonus. The range won’t even be in your contract at all, and some firms like UBS, where my friend works at doesn’t even include the bonus language in the offer. So bonus really depends on which bucket you fall in at year end, firm performance, and the market. 85 base is ok if you are not in NYC Boston LA or SF. If so you are way underpaid.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the bonus, if you like the team and the work seems like something you would want to do, and also you see yourself living in Seattle for a year, do it. If you are top bucket at year end you will be compensated. The street level raise cause by GS13 also resulted in bank HR playing a dirty trick - higher base and lower bonus. Many of my friends in MM in Boston got 60k-70k this year. Barclays NYC has some 50k A1 bonus numbers. So total all in would be 170-180 this year for most (last year was def an exception). If you are interested there is a “2022 analyst bonus thread” on WSO. If I had to guess, your firm is sticking with the 85k structure like pre 2020 Wall Street and perhaps might be able to give you the 80% bonus or perhaps more? Where did you get the 75% from?

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Hello Fishes,

I had given interview
Mindtree and cleared both technical rounds. On Tuesday 29 March 2022, I got a call from HR for the final discussion. After that I have not received any response.

I have been calling the HR and her manager, both are not responding to mail or calls.

Is there a way to get some information if my candidature is still in progress or is this delay natural? I have another offer from another company, but am more interested in joining Mindtree.
