FAQS
What is WallStreetComps.com?
WallStreetComps.com was created by a group of former investment bankers to keep peers
informed about the compensation trends in the industry. The resulting compensation report is
free and is a way to share information with peers.

How is data gathered?


The data gathered in this report were submitted by investment bankers on a voluntary basis.
Individual submissions are anonymous and kept strictly confidential. No personal data is required
and the data is used on an aggregated basis only.

How reliable are the data?


Although the results are screened for obvious mistakes or typos, WallStreetComps.com cannot
guarantee the validity of the information presented. However, due to the nature of this report and
the way data were entered, we are confident the information in this report is valuable and
accurate.

Which currency do you use?


All amounts are in U.S. dollars. We have asked each participant to convert his/her bonus (if it
were not received in USD) by using the following exchange rates:
1 = $1.30
1 = $1.60
These were the approximate exchange rates on December 31, 2012.

What is Associate 0?
When an MBA student is hired as an Associate following her graduation, she will generally be an
Associate for 17 months (from August of graduation year until December of the following year).
We define Associate 0 as the first 5 months of Associate 1, at the end of which a Stub bonus is
paid.

Why cant I see the name of my firm even though I participated in the survey?
If you were the only participant in your firm, we have decided not to disclose the name of that
firm to protect your privacy.

As the costs of running the survey have gone high, we have decided this year to sell ad space and
keep the survey free. So please, support our sponsors: next time you want to eat sushi: try Sushi
Shop (we did and their food is delicious!); and next time you want to do something new and
original while in NYC, take a photo tour with Citifari (we recommend their Central Park tour, its
great!)

Enjoy the Seventh Annual WallStreetComps Survey!

R2 = 0.203
