Alleged bank by bank salary increases

5 January 2010

Sarah Butcher

Headhunters are starting to amass data on new look salaries at banks operating in London. Making no claims for their accuracy, but having spoken to several recruiters who testify that they ‘seem correct,’ we’re reproducing some of these data points below.

The implication? Citigroup and UBS are paying some of the most generous salaries in the City; BofA Merrill Lynch is lagging behind; Morgan Stanley is comparatively generous to senior staff, less so to those further down the ladder.

Unfortunately, some of the organisations to have raised salaries more recently, such as Credit Suisse and BarCap, aren’t included in the tables below. One headhunter tells us he’s come across an MD at BarCap on a recently elevated salary of £225k, however.

The tables also omit historical salaries for analysts and associates. These were fairly uniform across banks, with analysts getting £36-50k depending upon seniority, and associates earning £56-70k.

  • Kolabrou - it is a bit generic, intended as a rough guide more than anything else.

  • CITIGROUP  75 NOW 133  REALLY !!! i and my peers will doubtless be harassing HR in the morning...we will blame you..expect the phonecall
    i honestly believe that these figures are mischievous...of course there will be people on those salary bandings..but the vast majority of us are not. Bonuses will be good but to suggest that base salaries are at this level is madness !!
    Where on earth did you get them from...recruiters !!!!  that source of good information !!
