Increases are thought to apply to three most junior positions across investment bank
Goldman Sachs is lifting pay for its junior bankers, months after graduates raised concerns over “inhumane” working conditions and 100-hour weeks.
The Guardian understands that the salary increases apply to the three most junior positions across the investment bank, with first-year analysts – who previously earned about £50,000 in base pay – set to see their pay rise to $110,000 (£79,000) before bonuses. Second-year analysts are being notified that their pay will rise to $125,000, while their more senior associates will bring in $150,000.
