Absolutely, I can provide some insights based on the WSO Dataset. Here's a general breakdown:

  1. For a Senior Associate/AVP, the salary range is typically $150-200k with a 50-100% bonus.
  2. A VP can expect to earn between $175-235k with an 80-130% bonus.
  3. The salary for a Principal/SVP usually falls between $225-275k with a 100-150% bonus.
  4. For an MD/SMD, the compensation can vary greatly, so it's hard to provide a specific range.

Please note that these figures can vary depending on the firm and the city. For instance, an associate for a leading direct lender in one city reported an all-in compensation of about $160k (110k salary and 50% bonus). At the same firm, a VP can earn up to $275k, a Director up to $400k, and an MD up to $500k, with the potential for more as equity is involved.

In another case, a VP in LO Public Credit reported a range of $600k-1.5m for an MD, and $800k-5m+ for a PM.

Remember, these are just general figures and actual compensation can vary based on a variety of factors. Hope this helps!

My firm pays around 300-400 at associate level and I know a VP made about 650, but that’s all I got.
