ML, BS, Leh, CS, + GS 1st and 2nd Year Analyst Pay

Anyone know the base 1st and 2nd year analyst pay at Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Lehman, and Goldman? I heard Merrill, Lehman and Bear all pay a haircut amount of 55k for first year and 65k for year 2.

However, can anyone confirm that Goldman and CS pay 65k for first year and 70k for years 2.

Thanks.

I guess some shops had 55k last year but clearly i think CS, GS, JPM, Wachovia, UBS had 60k so those 1st year will earn 70k for 2nd year. my friend at gs earns 70k for 2nd year. New analysts start at 60 0r 65 - need to be confirmed.

Those who paid 55 are moving to 60k this year, 2nd year (previous 1st year of course) will probably make 65k. Leh, BSC, BofA... I think ML too (need confirmation).

Thanks.

 

One of the guys here said he made 35k base as a 1st or 2nd year in 1994... I think around 2000 it was 50k (1st year) then 3 bad years im sure there was no raise then like you said 55k for 2004/2005 the standard for 2006/2007 is 60k. but in 2006 some still had 55k so these company's 2nd year will only make 65k. I guess the standard has a 5k variance which is normal.
