Salary Range
$75,000 to $100,000+Overview
Investment banking associates, like analysts, do much of the entry-level numbers-crunching and financial-modeling work but, unlike analysts, they are more involved with clients in writing deal proposals and preparing pitch books. They often travel to sit in on client meetings with other members of the deal team. Associates usually come from a top MBA program and have a law degree or an advanced corporate finance degree.
