I can say with certainty the minimum is 0.
The maximum is influenced by many factors, most importantly which area of the business you work in.

High level of the role im looking in to -

The U.S. Public Markets Product Development Team, based in New York, collaborates with Portfolio Management, Distribution, Senior Management and various internal stakeholders on the development and implementation of Global Equity, Global Fixed Income and Multi-Asset investment products in an effort to support MSIM’s overall business strategy and key strategic initiatives.


Just curious if it’s a capped bonus structure or purely performance based? For example I work at Fidelity Capital Markets currently and have 25% bonus eligibility. It could be funded by up to 20% more so on an exceptional year I may have a bonus if 30% of my salary, but never more.

There isn’t really a typical bonus % as I’ve learned here.
They look at it from a total compensation perspective. Example and I’m totally making these numbers up- If you get 150 base and 30 bonus for one year, they can keep you flat total comp the next year if it’s a crap year, but they may increase your base by 2% giving you 153 but decrease your bonus so you get 27 bonus the next year.
And I don’t think they’ll ever tell you it’s a good year unless 2021 repeats itself.

I’m not in MSIM so take what I say with a grain of salt. Maybe they operate differently than rest of ms but I don’t think they operate like fidelity’s cap. In other words, it’s performance of the company, performance of division and team, and your individual performance.

MS2 is right, so you need to fully accept that the higher you negotiate your base, the smaller your bonus will be.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Boston SFA 5 years exp (Corporate finance). My research shows 110-120k for comp range. Does that sound right to others here?

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

What to do when HR is refusing give salary range for internal jobs ?
