Morgan Stanley Associate compensation

Got an offer for an Associate level position for data analytics and product mgmt. Offer is for $120k, $15k bonus. Is this a good offer? Not familiar with their salary bands. YOE: 4

120 is the better end of the range for an associate. I view the associate band (all divisions) as 90-135k but always outliers exist. That’s every position at the company - bonus differs by group - IBD getting ~100% of salary in bonus, and then other groups getting 5-25% - could be anywhere

Gotcha! At 4 YOE, could I possibly aim for a senior associate title? Would that up my salary band

FYI- at MS level up from associate is Director. Associate seems right for 4 YOE and generally the title will be set with the job req but you can always try to negotiate up.

For Associate, that’s pretty solid. Is this data analytics as in the Analytics and Data dept in the WM side?

Investment Management side, not sure if that makes a difference!
