Average AF salary

Water Cooler
#1

I was reading through some of the comments providing advice for GMAT preparation and it crossed my mind that complacency is not a characteristic reflected in this community. The forum was a user who just got his charter and now seeking to procure his MBA. With an aurora of ambition surrounding this community, it made me wonder if such aspirations came to fruition, at least in terms of compensation. Having said all this, I would like to poise the question of the average total compensation of an AF user (sorry int’l users but I would like the sample to only include those within the US)

I agree. Is there a way to anonymously input your base, bonus, and other commissions into a spreadsheet? User names would not be seen, just their job title, location, and income figures.

Otherwise feel free to drop $$ figures below.

Wow. There are a lot of expensive words in that first paragraph.

Not trying to be mean, but it’s just very noticeable:

complacency, characteristic reflected, procure, aurora (aura?), aspirations, fruition, poise (pose?) a question

#4

I like “aurora of ambition” and I think I will include this on my resume.

#5

It is very simple to make a doc with salary info on it that doesn’t ID people. Make a Google Doc spreadsheet and post the link here. People can input their info.

#6

Yikes, good pointers there. I’ve been scrolling through cars and that explains the aurora - as for the others, i simply can’t spell and rely heavily on spell check lol. Anyway, i am curious of the results and like the spreadsheet idea.

#7

Don’t listen to the haters vinnyc, Bchad is just jealous of your words.

#8

I’m not hating, I’m just amused. :slight_smile:

I like expensive words, but they should be used like spices. You want your text to have some accents that make it flavorful, rather than twenty different powers rammed down your throat simultaneously. It’s the difference between a delicious sushi and sardine masala.

#9

I like $5 words. I always steal them from research reports I read to put them in mine. It’s interesting to see $5 words get rotated around.

Start up the spreadsheet vinnyc. I’m sure there are a lot of AFers that would be interested. Make sure to put a ‘City’ column though.

#10

Instead of “city”, maybe put “Cost of living where you live: high/low/medium”, or something like that. I can imagine people not wanting to specify their location to maintain anonymity.

#11

No, he’s talking about that place outside of Chicago. Living there is the new killing it.

#12

Alright lmk if this doesn’t work.

There was a whole thread about this like a year ago; a lot of people directly posted their salary in the forum. I thnk the average salary at the time was like $70-80k

#14

It really should include:

yrs experience, CFA (Y or N), MBA (Y or N), role, firm AUM, title

#15

While we are at it, how about a / s / l / size / pics etc. etc.?

#16

it’s on view only mode

#17

Should be good to go now

#18

MBA: Yes

CFA: Level II Candidate

Salary 2013: $0.00

This ought to skew the results a bit but it’s realistic to include in the survey I think.

#19

i’m offended at your culturally insensitive analogy which is reflective of your own biased culinary preferences and characterizes a delicious south-asian dish as inferior to a japanese specialty

#20

You could’ve at least formatted the numbers in dollars… jackass
