[quote=Anonymous]Something is fishy about OP's post. I am in finance, a wall street-esq job in the DC area. Everyone on the business side here has a base of $135k. From associate through the partners. Bonuses vary widely. Some years the associate bonuses are $2k, some years they are much higher. The partners bonuses are usually 7 figures, but one year they were 8. 2009-2011 the partners did not get bonuses. No one is crying for them of course, their names adorn buildings around here.

Mid-level bonuses vary widely as well - some years they are 2x-4x base, some years closer to 25% base. 2013 was a good year, the average bonus will probably be 3x but it will vary depending on what deals were done, roles, etc.

Other than C-cuite jobs, I have never encountered a base salary here in finance higher 400k, and that is CEO level with hug bonus/deferred comp structure.

The tradeoff here is family time, and job security. No one I work with outside the named partners has any job security from one day to the next.[/quote]
