You want to find you what he earns without him telling you?

Why don't you look on some job sites, seems obvious to me?

1) Just wondering what a trader earned for one of the big firms. A friend of mine working for them in NYC.

His last post - he doesnt really have specifics. Thought his firm was looking to hire someone with this background.

That can mean anything! What sort of desk is it?

Bit more info:

Fixed Income associate level trader. 2nd year. Just a rough estimate.

Salary as in base or all-in?

I'm also not sure what pay was beforehand but they may also try to low-ball your friend since they know his background (seen it happen as a 'cost of transition').

What kind of desk is it? For an associate-level trader, I would say lower range is high $100ks and upper range is in the $400ks. Of course, it *really* depends on which business you are in.
