You know the drill. Base + stub/bonus, group, city, hours if you're brave. No flexing, no doxxing, no "trust me bro." Keep it useful so the analyst class behind us has real data instead of vibes. I'll start in the comments.
A2, M&A, NYC. Base 125, stub 95. Hours avg 80, peaked at 100 on a live one. Group's fine, the comp is the comp.
A2, product group, Chicago. Base 125, bonus 90. Same as NYC numbers, rent is half. The hidden arbitrage nobody talks about.
Chicago comp at NYC numbers is the most underrated move in the industry, full stop.
A1, coverage, NYC. Base 110, bonus 70. First year so no comp set to compare to, but it clears rent and therapy.
Lurking incoming analyst, this thread is worth more than three coffee chats. thank you.
