FAQs on Salaries for Associate - Investment Banking Jobs

Investment Banking Salary Information

Being an associate investment banker is a lot of work. As the primary link between analysts and senior investment partners, an associate investment banker may be responsible for project management on a team level as well as his or her own projects. All that hard work pays off, though; when comparing Investment Banking Salaries by Job, an associate investment bankers salary stands out as one of the highest. While you are researching investment banker salary data, it's important to remember that an investment banker's salary is augmented in most cases by a sizable commission. You perform well, your clients' investments flourish, and your commission flourishes accordingly - a win-win situation for investors and investment bankers alike. To see how an investment banker salary can be affected by commission, see the chart showing the median Investment Banking Commission by State.

The average investment banker salary doesn't change much over time. Measuring Investment Bankers' Salary by Years of Experience shows little difference between the salary of an investment banker with a year of experience and an investment bankers salary after 10 years of experience. So what can be done to give an investment banker's salary an upward push? It may sound corny, but comparing investment banker salary data by education level reveals that this is one field where your education really is your best investment. PayScale's Investment Banker Salary Information by Degree shows that for investment bankers, salary is highest for those who have earned an MBA degree, particularly one in finance. The time and money spent earning a graduate degree is well worth it when it comes to earning a higher investment banker salary.
