How much bonus does an investment banking analyst make ?

Question by twstedlogic: How much bonus does an investment banking analyst make ?
I intend to go into finance/investment banking (after i graduate and hopefully the economy recovers) . How much salary+ bonus would a NEW investment banking analyst make at an i-bank such as goldman sachs or jp morgan. also, i intend to get a Masters in financial engineering after i graduate from college…..is it even worth it? will it give me a better shot at a higher position at an investment bank or will i have to start at the same level as college graduates?

Answer by Fat Tay
At that level, the bonus is not significant. To make the big dollars, you need to become a banker with close ties (i.e., give a lot of money) to the President, the Speaker, and various other corrupt politicians.

What is the best investment banking company?

Question by Rick James: What is the best investment banking company?
Which company is the best and pays the most for investment bankers? Goldmann Sachs, JP morgan, Merrill Lynch? Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by MVD34
The rules have changed thanks to the collapse of the post-2000 financial world. Since they have all re-org’d into bank holding companies and are in and out of the TARP TALP and other government rescue operations, I would be unwilling to bet that the good old days are coming back anytime soon.

Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs & JP Morgan are top tier.

Bank of New York Mellon also ranks.

Everyone else is still, likely, too close to trouble to start counting the money just yet.
