basic salary is more or less the same across all divisions. it's the bonus that differs. IBD bonus could be substantial if you had a good year, markets bonus again depends on your personal performance, for the first few years, expect a lower bonus than those in IBD.

Hehe:) Guess it could be seen as more of an investment than AM sales though in terms of exit options etc.

I searched the forum for AM analyst salaries, and found old posts stating numbers around 28-30 k per year. So if it basically should be the same as in IBD or markets, it must be too low?

Edit: Found a more recent post - "36k-40k base, 5k sign on, bonus really depends." That sounds more reasonable...
