Just received a strategic finance associate offer with 140k base and 20-30% bonus. Will be my first post IBD job and I can’t tell whether that bonus is a joke or not.....

That seems like a fair topic to joke about when making an offer.

I wouldn’t say disgusting...

Banking bonuses as a % of base are higher than basically any other industry. Your standards have just been warped by working in IBD.

Further, pay in banking is much higher than at companies. Shouldn’t shock you that TC is lower than what you’re making even as an analyst in IBD

Then you were unfortunately operating under a misapprehension.

140 base with 20% bonus sounds pretty in line with what I’d expect for that kind of role

Bruh if you trying to make bank why are you leaving banking??

Curious why OP left banking too

Assuming you’ll have 2 YoE when you start, this is one of the highest cash comp strategic finance positions floating around out there. I say that as someone who left PE with 2 YoE and accepted a strategic finance role. I’m making less cash comp than that but with a meaningful amount of stock options.

You have to keep in mind you’ll be working WAY less hours and the hours you do work will be more relaxed. From an hourly perspective your comp will go way up. That being said, if your goal is to maximize comp above all else, stay in banking. You’ll be extremely hard pressed to find higher.

Do you get equity?

That sounds like really good comp for a strategic finance role. What type of company/industry? When I interviewed I was getting 120 with no bonus

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
