Ok to give you a rough figure, MD comp (salary plus bonus) is roughly in the 500-1.5musd range for non group heads these days, with group heads in the 1.15-2.5mm type range.

like

Vp1 is way off. 500k indeed means zero bonus. A good portion of MDs these days get zero bonus... especially in sales/trading jobs but also in banking jobs. People don't quit as quickly as they used to so they need to be incentivised to go... and maybe my numbers were a tad low but I think they are quite reflective of last year (which was a bad year for comp admittedly)

like

Average MD comp across the street in 2015 was around $950k; many firms $400-$500k base with bonus as the balance. More "eat what you kill" at boutiques. MDs do not make nearly as much as you think.

In the FO, Probably like a $400-500k base with bonus that's ~100% times the base?

@BAML1 is factually right. Any of the big recruiting firms have comp reports. Any bulge bracket junior or underperforming MD is making less than $1mm. A non-head BSD ~$2-3mm. Most Bulges will cap at $3mm. Heads of large groups maybe go up $6mm. Outside of that, only Centerview et al are making "old school $" (~$10mm). This is not the '80s. MDs are not retiring young which is creating a huge problem for Director level bankers -- just look around

Thanks. That is pretty terrible in NYC.

I don't think I'm out of the norm for a boutique though. Lazards not a boutique

MD comp is typically around $500K base, $1-2m bonus if you're a low performer // good performer $5-10m++

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
